Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It is mentioned in the Musannaf of Ibn Abi Shaybah (may Allah have mercy on him) that 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) used to continue his fast for fifteen days. Is this authentic from him?
Answer:
Yes, Allah knows best. However, 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) had strength for worship. He would prolong standing in prayer at night to the extent that he would sometimes faint from the length of standing. Or, may Allah be pleased with him, he was a worshipper and strong in his worship. He would prolong standing in prayer, and he also used to fast frequently, may Allah be pleased with him and his father. Yes.
