2179. It was narrated from Abû Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahmân that he asked 'Aîshah about the fasting of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. She said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to fast until we said: 'He will not stop fasting,' and he used not to fast until we said: 'He will not fast.' And he used to fast Sha'bân, or most of Sha'bân." (Sahîh)

Commentary
1. A precise standard or scheme cannot be laid down for the observance of the optional fasting; it is rather governed by man's agility or vitality. When one feels like fasting, he may fast and fast as many days as he could. When he feels sluggish, he may stop fasting, or he may punctuate it with intervals. (For further details see Hadith 2359).
