Question:
May Allah reward you with good, Honorable Shaykh. Is there a report that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted the entire month of Allah, Muharram?

Answer:
There is no report that he fasted the entire month, as in the hadith
The Messenger of Allah did not fast an entire month except Ramadan.ما صام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم شهرا كاملا غير رمضان
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 768Sahih (Darussalam)
, but he used to fast a lot in Sha'ban, and he used to fast a lot in Muharram, fasting most of the month, but not the whole of it. Yes.
