"I asked 'Aishah about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah. She said: "The Messenger of Allah used to fast until we said: He is going to (continue to) fast, and he used not to fast until we said: He is not going to, and he did not fast for a whole month from the time he came to Al-Madinah, apart from Ramadan."'

"The month which the Messenger of Allah most liked to fast was Shaban; indeed he used to join it to Ramadan."

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast until we said: 'He will not break his fast.' And he used not to fast until we said: 'He will not fast.' And I never saw the Messenger of Allah fast more in any month than in Shaban."

That the Messenger of Allah would not fast any two consecutive months except Shaban and Ramadan.

That the Prophet would not fast any month of the year in full except Shaban and he used to join it to Ramadan.

"The Messenger of Allah did not fast any month more than Shaban; he used to fast (all of) it, or most of it."

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast (all of) Shaban except a little."

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast all of Shaban."

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I do not see you fasting any month as much as Shaban.' He said: 'That is a month to which people do not pay much attention, between Rajab and Ramadan. It is a month in which the deeds are taken up to the Lord of the worlds, and I like that my deeds be taken up when I am fasting."'

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, sometimes you fast, and you hardly ever break your hardly ever fast, except two days which, if you are fasting, you include them in your fast, and if you are not fasting, then you fast them on your own.' He said: 'Which two days?' I said: 'Monday and Thursday.' He said: 'Those are two days in which deeds are shown to the Lord of the worlds, and I like my deeds to be shown (to Him) when I am fasting."'

That the Messenger of Allah used to fast continually and it ws said that he would not break his fast, and he used not to fast and it was said that he would not fast.

"The Messenger of Allah used to be keen to fast on Mondays and Thursday."

"The Messenger of Allah used to be keen to fast on Mondays and Thursday."

"The Messenger of Allah used to be keen to fast on Mondays and Thursday."

"The Messenger of Allah used to be keen to fast on Mondays and Thursday."

"The Messenger of Allah used to be keen to fast on Mondays and Thursday."

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast three days of every month: the Monday and Thursday of the first week and the Monday of the following week."

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast Thursday and Monday of each month, and Monday of the following week."

"When the Messenger of Allah would lie down, he would place his right hand under his right cheek, and he used to fast on Mondays and Thursday."

"The Messenger of Allah used to fast three days in the middle of every month, and he rarely did not fast on Friday."
