أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بِشْرانَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي الدُّنْيَا، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ يَسَافٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْمُعَلَّى بْنَ زِيَادٍ،
يَقُولُ: كَانَ عَامِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَدْ فَرَضَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَلْفَ رَكْعَةٍ، وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ جَلَسَ وَقَدِ انْتَفَخَتْ سَاقَاهُ مِنْ طُولِ الْقِيَامِ فَيَقُولُ: " يَا نَفْسُ بِهَذَا أُمِرْتِ، وَلِهَذَا خُلِقْتِ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ الْعَنَاءُ "

He says: ʿĀmir b. ʿAbdillāh had made it obligatory upon himself to pray a thousand rak‘ahs every day. When he had prayed the ʿAṣr prayer he would sit, his shins swollen from the length of standing, and say: "O soul, for this you were commanded, and for this you were created. The toil is about to pass."
