2448. 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'The most beloved fast to Allāh is fast of (Prophet) Dāwūd, and the most beloved Ṣalāt to Allāh is Ṣalāt of Dāwūd, he used to sleep half of the night, then pray for one third, and sleep one sixth, and he would go without fasting for one day, and fast the next day.'" (Sahih)
2448 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، وَمُسَدَّدٌ، وَالْإِخْبَارُ فِي حَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمْرًا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أَوْسٍ، سَمِعَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ، وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى صَلَاةُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَهُ، وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ، وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ، وَكَانَ يُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، وَيَصُومُ يَوْمًا»
