أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ فَيَّاضٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِيَاضٍ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو قَالَ

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «صُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ يَوْمًا وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ» فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ» فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ» فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «صُمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ» قُلْتُ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَمَا قَالَ «أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ» «أَفْضَلُ الصَّوْمِ صَوْمُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, “Fast one day of the month and you will have the reward of the rest.” I said, “I am able to do more than that.” He said, “Then fast two days and you will have the reward of the rest.” I said, “I am able to do more than that.” He said, “Fast three days and you will have the reward of the rest.” I said, “I am able to do more than that.” He said, “Fast four days and you will have the reward of the rest.” I said, “I am able to do more than that.” Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said after he had said, “Four days,” “The best fast is the fast of Dawud; he used to fast one day and break the fast one day.”
