أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَلِيحِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِيكَ زَيْدٍ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَحَدَّثَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ ذُكِرَ لَهُ صَوْمِي فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَأَلْقَيْتُ لَهُ وِسَادَةً حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَصَارَتِ الْوِسَادَةُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ «أَمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ؟» قُلْتُ زِدْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «خَمْسًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «سَبْعًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «تِسْعًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «أحْدَ عَشَرَ»؟ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا صَوْمَ فَوْقَ صَوْمِ دَاوُدَ شَطْرَ الدَّهْرِ صِيَامُ يَوْمٍ وَفِطْرُ يَوْمٍ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was told about my fasting, so he came in to me. He said: I threw him a cushion stuffed with palm fiber, but he sat on the ground, and the cushion remained between me and him. He said, “Is it not enough for you to fast three days every month?” I said, “Give me more, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Five.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Seven.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Nine.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Eleven.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “There is no fast above the fast of Dawud, half of a lifetime: fasting one day and breaking the fast one day.”
