وَأَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
" أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ ؟ " قُلْتُ: بَلَى، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، وَمَا أُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ: لَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ هَجَمَتْ لَهُ الْعَيْنُ، وَنَفِهَتْ لَهُ النَّفْسُ، لَا صَامَ مَنْ صَامَ الْأَبَدَ، وَلَكِنْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى صَوْمِ الدَّهْرِ، ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَذَلِكَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ خَمْسًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ "، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي أُطِيقُ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ عَشْرًا "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَى

✧ “Have I not been told that you stand in prayer all night and fast all day?” I said: Yes, O Messenger of God, and I intend by that only good. He said: “Do not do that, for if you do that the eye will become sunken and the soul will grow weary. No one who fasts perpetually has fasted. But I will guide you to the fasting of a lifetime: three days of every month, for that is the fasting of a lifetime.” He said: I said: O Messenger of God, I am able to do more. He said: “Then fast five days of the month.” I said: O Messenger of God, I am able to do more. He said: “Then fast ten days.” I said: I am able to do more. He said: “Then fast the fast of Dāwūd: he would fast one day and break his fast one day, and he would not flee when he met the enemy.”
