The Prophet fasted Ramadan nine times

Question

How many times did the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, fast the month of Ramadhaan?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

Fasting the month of Ramdhaan was prescribed in Sha‘baan of the second year after Hijrah. The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, died in Rabee' Al-Awwal of the eleventh year after Hijrah. This means that the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, fasted Ramadan nine years.

Allaah Knows best.
