2395. It was narrated that Abū Salamah bin ‘Abdur-Rahmān said: “I entered upon ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr and said: O uncle, tell me what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to you. He said: O son of my brother, I had resolved to strive
very hard until I said: I will fast for the rest of my life and I will read the whole Qur'ân every day and night. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ heard about that, and came in to me in my house, and said: I have heard that you said, I will fast for a lifetime and will read the Qur'ân. I said: I did say that, O Messenger of Allâh. He said: Do not do that. Fast three days of each month. I said: I am able to do more than that. He said: fast two days of each week, Monday and Thursday. I said: I am able to do more than that. He said: Observe the fast of Dâwûd, peace be upon him, for it is the best kind of fasting before Allâh; one day fasting, and one day not fasting. And when he made a promise he did not break it, and when he met (the enemy in battle) he did not flee.” (Sahîh)

Commentary
“He did not flee”: He mentioned these two additional attributes with which he had been characterized. Despite fasting to such an extent, he possessed such an immense physical energy. [Dâwûd, who was endowed with so much inner strength (Sâd: 17)].
