[2742] 192 - (...) It was narrated from ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr [may Allâh be pleased with them] that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: “Fast one day and you will have the reward of the rest.” He said: “I am able to do more than that.” He said: “Fast two days, and you will have the reward of the rest.” He said: “I am able to do more than that.” He said: “Fast three days, and you will have the reward of the rest.” He said: “I am able to do more than that.” He said: “Fast four days and you will have the reward of the rest.” He said: “I am able to do more than that.” He said: “Observe the best fast before Allâh, the fast of Dâwûd, – ﷺ –. He used to fast one day and not the next.”

193 - (1159) وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مِينَاءَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ، فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، فَإِنَّ لِجَسَدِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَظًّا، وَلِعَيْنِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَظًّا، وَإِنَّ لِزَوْجِكَ عَلَيْكَ حَظًّا، صُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ، صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، فَذَلِكَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ بِي قُوَّةً، قَالَ: فَصُمْ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا " فَكَانَ يَقُولُ: «يَا لَيْتَنِي أَخَذْتُ بِالرُّخْصَةِ»
