English translation

[2739] 189 - (...) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr [may Allâh be pleased with them] said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'The dearest of fasting to Allâh is the fast of Dâwûd and the dearest of prayer to Allâh is the prayer of Dâwûd, – ﷺ –. He used to sleep for half the night, get up and pray for one third of it, and sleep for one sixth of it, and he used to fast one day and not the next.”

Arabic text

١٨٩ - (١١٥٩) وحدثنا أبو بكر بن أبي شيبة وزهير بْنُ حَرْبٍ. قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو ابن أَوْسٍ. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا. قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ. وَأَحَبَّ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صَلَاةُ دَاوُدَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ). كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ. وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ. وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ. وَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا".
