أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ :" مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَامَ شَهْرًا تَامًّا إِلَّا شَعْبَانَ، فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَصِلُهُ بِرَمَضَانَ لِيَكُونَا شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ، وَكَانَ يَصُومُ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : لَا يُفْطِرُ، وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ : لَا يَصُومُ "

May God bless him and grant him peace, he fasted a complete month except Sha`ban, for he used to connect it with Ramadan to be two consecutive months, and he used to fast from the month until… We say: He does not break the fast, and he breaks the fast until we say: He does not fast.”
