1131. Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr bin Al-‘Ās: Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ told me, "The most beloved Ṣalāt (prayer) to Allāh is that of Dā’ūd (David), عليه السلام, and the most beloved Saum (fasts) to Allāh are those of Dā’ūd. He used to sleep for half of the night and then offer Ṣalāt (prayer) for one third of the night and again sleep for its sixth part and used to observe Saum (fasts) to alternate days."
1131 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ أَوْسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ العَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ: «أَحَبُّ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صَلاَةُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ، وَأَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ، وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ، وَيَصُومُ يَوْمًا، وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا»
