2405. ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to me: ‘Fast one day of the month and you will have the reward of what is left.’ I said: ‘I am able to do more than that.’ He said: ‘Fast two days and you will have the reward of what is left.’ I said: ‘I am able to do more than that.’ He said: ‘Fast three days and you will have the reward of what is left.’ I said: ‘I am able to do more than that.’ He said: ‘Fast four days and you will have the reward of what is left.’ I said: ‘I am able to do more than that.’ The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘The best fasting is the fast of Dâwûd; he used to fast one day and not the next.’” (Sahîh)

2403 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ فَيَّاضٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِيَاضٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «صُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ يَوْمًا وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «فَصُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «فَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «صُمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْضَلُ الصَّوْمِ صَوْمُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا»
