حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ
سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ صَوْمِ رَجَبٍ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِيهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَصُومُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يُفْطِرُ وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ لَا يَصُومُ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn 'Ubayd narrated to us, 'Uthman ibn Hakim narrated to us who said: I asked Sa'id ibn Jubayr about fasting in Rajab, what do you think of it? He said: Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهما narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast until we would say he will not break his fast, and he would break his fast until we would say he will not fast. [Meaning he fasted extensively in some months and broke his fast extensively in others, with no specific designation for Rajab.]
