حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ ع
َنْ صَلَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَوْمِهِ تَطَوُّعًا قَالَ كَانَ يَصُومُ مِنْ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَيُفْطِرُ حَتَّى نَقُولَ مَا يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَصُومَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا وَمَا كُنَّا نَشَاءُ أَنْ نَرَاهُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ مُصَلِّيًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ وَلَا نَرَاهُ نَائِمًا إِلَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ

English Translation
Muhammad ibn Abdullah narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) who was asked about the voluntary prayer and fasting of the Prophet ﷺ. He said: He would fast during a month until we thought he would not break his fast (that month), and he would eat (not fast) until we thought he would not fast. If you wanted to see him praying at night, you could see him, and if you wanted to see him sleeping, you could see him.
