أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو يَعْنِي ابْنَ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ
«أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ صَلَاةُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي نِصْفًا وَيَنَامُ ثُلُثًا وَيُسَبِّحُ سُدُسًا» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «هَذَا اللَّفْظُ الْأَخِيرُ غَلَطٌ أَوْ خَطَأٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُصَلِّي ثُلُثَهُ وَيُسَبِّحُ سُدُسَهُ»

✧ "The most beloved fasting to Allah ﷻ is the fasting of Dawud; he used to fast one day and break his fast the next. And the most beloved prayer to Allah ﷻ is the prayer of Dawud; he used to sleep half the night, pray a third, and observe glorification a sixth." Abu Muhammad said: This last wording is an error or mistake; rather, he used to sleep half the night, pray a third of it, and observe glorification a sixth of it.
