رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ 1980. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was informed about my Ṣaum (fasts), and he came to me and I spread for him a leather cushion stuffed with palm fibre, but he sat on the ground and the cushion remained between me and him, and then he said, "Isn't it sufficient for you to observe Ṣaum (fast) three days a month?" I replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! [I can observe Ṣaum (fast) more]." He said, "Five?" I replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! [I can observe Ṣaum (fast) more]." He said, "Seven?" I replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! [I can observe Ṣaum (fast) more]." He said, "Nine (days per month)?" I replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! [I can observe Ṣaum (fast) more]" He said, "Eleven (days per month)?" And then the Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no Ṣaum (fast) superior to that of the Prophet Dāwūd (David) عليه السلام; it was for half of the year. So, observe Ṣaum (fast) on alternate days."

1980 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ شَاهِينَ الوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الحَذَّاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو المَلِيحِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِيكَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، فَحَدَّثَنَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذُكِرَ لَهُ صَوْمِي، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَلْقَيْتُ لَهُ وِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ، وَصَارَتِ الوِسَادَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، فَقَالَ: «أَمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلاَثَةُ أَيَّامٍ؟»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «خَمْسًا»، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «سَبْعًا»، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «تِسْعًا»، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ»، ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ صَوْمَ فَوْقَ صَوْمِ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ شَطْرَ الدَّهَرِ، صُمْ يَوْمًا، وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا»
