Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قِيلَ لِعَائِشَةَ يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رُئِيَ هَذَا الشَّهْرُ لِتِسْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَالَتْ وَمَا يُعْجِبُكُمْ مِنْ ذَاكَ لَمَا صُمْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا صُمْتُ ثَلَاثِينَ.
English Translation
Hashim ibn al-Qasim told us: Ishaq ibn Sa'id told us, from his father, who said: It was said to A'isha: "O Mother of the Believers, this month has been sighted after twenty-nine days." She said: "What is there for you to be surprised at in that? I fasted twenty-nine days with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, more often than I fasted thirty."
