حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ؓ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
" كَيْفَ تَصُومُ ؟ " قُلْتُ: أَصُومُ وَلَا أُفْطِرُ، قَالَ: صُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ، صُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، قَالَ: زِدْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً، قَالَ: فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أُنَاقِصُهُ وَيُنَاقِصُنِي، حَتَّى قَالَ: " صُمْ أَحَبَّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا "، فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ: لَأَنْ أَكُونَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ، لَكِنِّي لَا أَدَعُ فَرِيضَةً فَرَضَهَا عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ

✧ "How do you fast?" I said, "I fast and do not break the fast." He said, "Fast and break the fast; fast three days of the month." I said, "Give me more, O Messenger of Allah, for I have strength." He said: I kept bargaining with him and he kept bargaining with me until he said, "Fast the most beloved fast to Allah, Blessed and Exalted, the fast of Dawud; he used to fast one day and break the fast one day." When Abdullah grew old, he said, "If I had ended at what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me, it would be dearer to me than what the sun rises upon, but I do not abandon an obligation that the Messenger of Allah has made obligatory upon me."
