حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
ذَكَرْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ الصَّوْمَ فَقَالَ: صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَلَكَ أَجْرُ التِّسْعَةِ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ تِسْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَلَكَ أَجْرُ الثَّمَانِيَةِ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ ثَمَانِيَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا، وَلَكَ أَجْرُ تِلْكَ السَّبْعَةِ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى قَالَ: صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا

'Amr said: "I spoke to the Prophet and he said: 'Fast one day out of ten and you will have the reward of the other nine.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' He said: 'Fast one day out of eight and you will have the reward of the other eight.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' He said: 'Fast one day out of eight and you will have the reward of the other seven.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' 'Fast one day and not the next."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2395)
