A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) did not observe fast in any month of the year more than in the month of Sha'ban, and used to say: Do as many deeds as you are capable of doing, for Allah will not become weary (of giving you reward), but you would be tired (of doing good deeds) ; and he also said: The deed liked most by Allah is one to which the doer adheres constantly even if it is small.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ مِنَ السَّنَةِ أَكْثَرَ صِيَامًا مِنْهُ فِي شَعْبَانَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «خُذُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَنْ يَمَلَّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا»وَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «أَحَبُّ الْعَمَلِ إِلَى اللهِ مَا دَاوَمَ عَلَيْهِ صَاحِبُهُ، وَإِنْ قَلَّ»
  یحییٰ بن ابی کثیر نے ابو سلمہ سے اور انھوں نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہا سےروایت کی ، اور کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سال کے کسی مہینے میں ، شعبان سے بڑھ کر ، روزے نہیں رکھتے تھے ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرمایا کر تے تھے : " اتنے ہی اعمال اپناؤ جتنوں کی تم طاقت رکھتے ہو ۔ کیونکہ اللہ تعالیٰ ہرگز نہیں اکتائے گا حتیٰ کہ تم خود ہی ( عمل کرنے سے ) اکتا جاؤ گے ۔ " اور آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم فرمایا کر تے تھے : " اللہ کے ہاں سب سے زیادہ پسندیدہ عمل و ہ ہے جس پر عمل کرنے والا ہمیشہ قائم رہے چاہے وہ تھوڑا ہی کیوں نہ ہو ۔ "

Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was informed that he could stand up for (prayer) throughout the night and observe fast every day so long as he lived. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Is it you who said this? I said to him: Messenger of Allah, it is I who said that. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah may peace be upon him) said: You are not capable enough to do so. Observe fast and break it; sleep and stand for prayer, and observe fast for three days during the month; for every good is multiplied ten times and this is like fasting for ever. I said: Messenger of Allah. I am capable of doing more than this. Thereupon he said: Fast one day and do not fast for the next two days. I said: Messenger of Allah, I have the strength to do more than that. The Prophet ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), said: Fast one day and break on the other day.
