رضي الله عنه 1977. Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr: The news of my observing Ṣaum (fasting) daily and offering Ṣalāt (prayer) every night throughout the night reached the Prophet ﷺ. So he sent for me, or I met him, and he ﷺ said, “I have been informed that you observe Ṣaum (fast) every day and offer Ṣalāt (prayer) every night (all the night). Observe Ṣaum (fast) (for some days) and give it up (for some days), offer Ṣalāt (prayer) and sleep for your eyes have a right on you, and your body and your family (your wife) have a right on you.” I replied, “I have more strength than that (for fasting).” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Then observe Ṣaum (fast) like the Ṣaum (fast) of (the Prophet) Dāwūd (David).” عليه السلام. I said, “How?” He replied, “He used to observe Ṣaum (fast) on alternate days, and he used not to flee on meeting the enemy.” I said, “From where can I get that chance, O Allāh’s Prophet?” [‘Aṭā said, “I do not know how the expression of ‘observe Ṣaum (fast) daily throughout the life’ occurred.”] So, the Prophet ﷺ said, twice, “Whoever observe Ṣaum (fast) daily throughout his life is just as the one who does not observe Ṣaum (fast) at all.”

1977 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، أَنَّ أَبَا العَبَّاسِ الشَّاعِرَ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنِّي أَسْرُدُ الصَّوْمَ، وَأُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ، فَإِمَّا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ وَإِمَّا لَقِيتُهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَصُومُ وَلاَ تُفْطِرُ، وَتُصَلِّي؟ فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ، وَقُمْ وَنَمْ، فَإِنَّ لِعَيْنِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَظًّا، وَإِنَّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَأَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَظًّا»، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَقْوَى لِذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «فَصُمْ صِيَامَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ» قَالَ: وَكَيْفَ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، وَلاَ يَفِرُّ إِذَا لاَقَى»، قَالَ: مَنْ لِي بِهَذِهِ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ - قَالَ عَطَاءٌ: لاَ أَدْرِي كَيْفَ ذَكَرَ صِيَامَ الأَبَدِ - قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ صَامَ مَنْ صَامَ الأَبَدَ» مَرَّتَيْنِ
