Other than the obligatory fast of Ramadan, the Prophet observed voluntary fasts. Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, said that after the migration to Medina the Prophet did not fast an entire month except for the month of Ramadan. She also says in another Prophetic quotation that he would fast most of the month of Shaban.
Bukod sa sapilitan mabilis ng Ramadan, ang Propeta obserbahan boluntaryong fasts. Lady Ayesha, maaaring Ala masiyahan sa kanya, sinabi na matapos ang paglipat sa Medina ang Propeta ay hindi fast isang buong buwan maliban para sa buwan ng Ramadan.
