أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ زُهَيْرٍ بِتُسْتَرَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الْكَرْخِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّ لِجَسَدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِنَفْسِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَقًّا صُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَجِدُ قُوَّةً قَالَ «صُمْ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا» قَالَ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ أَخَذْتُ الرُّخْصَةَ

✧ "O ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr, it has reached me that you fast during the day and stand in prayer at night. Do not do that, for your body has a right over you, and your soul has a right over you. Fast and break your fast; from every month, three days: that is the fast of a lifetime." He said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I find strength." He said, "Fast the fast of Dāwūd: fast one day and break your fast one day." He said: And ʿAbd Allāh b. ʿAmr used to say, "Would that I had taken the concession."
