حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو
أَنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَكَانَ لَا يَأْتِيهَا، كَانَ يَشْغَلُهُ الصَّوْمُ وَالصَّلَاةُ. فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَمَا زَالَ بِهِ حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ: صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا. وَقَالَ لَهُ: اقْرَإِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ. قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: اقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ. قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: اقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعٍ، حَتَّى قَالَ: اقْرَأْ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثٍ. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: إِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ شِرَّةً، وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةٌ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّتِي فَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ

✧ He married a woman from Quraysh and would not come to her, for fasting and prayer kept him busy. That was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: Fast three days of every month. He said: I can do more than that. He kept at him until he said to him: Fast one day and break the fast for one. And he said to him: Recite the Quran once a month. He said: I can do more than that. He said: Recite it once every fifteen days. He said: I can do more than that. He said: Recite it once every seven days, until he said: Recite it once every three days. And the Prophet ﷺ said: For every deed there is a period of zeal, and for every period of zeal there is a lapse. Whoever's lapse is toward my Sunnah has succeeded, and whoever's lapse is toward other than that has perished.
