✧ "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."
