أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ

ذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ لَأَقُومَنَّ اللَّيْلَ وَلَأَصُومَنَّ النَّهَارَ مَا عِشْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ؟» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ قُلْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَنَمْ وَقُمْ وَصُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا وَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ» قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمَيْنِ» قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «فَصُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا وَذَلِكَ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ أَعْدَلُ الصِّيَامِ» قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو لَأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَيَّامَ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي

✧ It was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that he said, "I will certainly stand in prayer at night and fast during the day as long as I live." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Are you the one who says that?" I said to him, "I have said it, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Then you will not be able to do that. So fast and break your fast, sleep and stand, and fast three days of every month, for a good deed is multiplied tenfold, and that is like fasting a lifetime." I said, "I can do better than that." He said, "Fast one day and break your fast for two days." I said, "I can do better than that, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Then fast one day and break your fast one day, and that is the fasting of Dawud, and it is the most moderate fasting." I said, "I can do better than that." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is nothing better than that." Abdullah b. Amr said, "If I had accepted the three days that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned, that would have been dearer to me than my family and my wealth."
