حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَامَ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَصِلُ شَعْبَانَ بِرَمَضَانَ.

Narrated to us by Abd al-Rahman ibn Mahdi, from Sufyan, from Mansur, from Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, from Abu Salamah, from Umm Salamah, who said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fast two consecutive months, except that he used to join Sha'ban to Ramadan."
