حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ بَيْتَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَكَلَّفُ قِيَامَ اللَّيْلِ، وَصِيَامَ النَّهَارِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَفْعَلُ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ حَسْبَكَ وَلَا أَقُولُ: افْعَلْ أَنْ تَصُومَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، الْحَسَنَةُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا، فَكَأَنَّكَ قَدْ صُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ كُلَّهُ. قَالَ: فَغَلَّظْتُ فَغُلِّظَ عَلَيَّ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ قُوَّةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: إِنَّ مِنْ حَسْبِكَ أَنْ تَصُومَ مِنْ كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ. قَالَ: فَغَلَّظْتُ فَغُلِّظَ عَلَيَّ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ بِي قُوَّةً، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَعْدَلُ الصِّيَامِ عِنْدَ اللهِ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ، نِصْفُ الدَّهْرِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: لِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقٌّ، وَلِأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقٌّ قَالَ: فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ يَصُومُ ذَلِكَ الصِّيَامَ، حَتَّى [إِذَا] أَدْرَكَهُ السِّنُّ وَالضَّعْفُ، كَانَ يَقُولُ: لَأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered his house and said, "O Abdullah b. Amr, have I not been told that you burden yourself with standing at night and fasting during the day?" He said, "I indeed do that." He said, "It is sufficient for you — and I do not say: do it — to fast three days of every month; a good deed is multiplied tenfold, so it is as though you have fasted the entire time." He said: I became harsher, and it was made harsher upon me. He said: I said, "I find strength beyond that." He said, "It is sufficient for you to fast three days every week." He said: I became harsher, and it was made harsher upon me, so I said, "I find strength in myself." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The most just fast in the sight of Allah is the fast of Dawud, half of the time." Then he said, "Your soul has a right over you, and your family has a right over you." He said: Abdullah used to keep that fast, until old age and weakness overtook him, and he would say, "To have accepted the concession of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would be dearer to me than my family and wealth."
