2391. It was narrated that Muhājīd said: "Abdullāh bin 'Amr said to me: My father got me married to a woman from a noble family, and he used to come to her and ask her about her husband. She said: What a wonderful man he is! He never comes to my bed, and he has never approached me since he married me. He mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: Bring him to me. So he brought him with him and (the Prophet ﷺ) said: How do you fast? I said: "Every day." He said: "Fast three days of every month." I said: "I am able to do better than that." He said: "Fast for two days, and break your fast for one day." He said: "I am able to do better than that". He said: "Observe the best of fasts, the fast of Dāwūd, peace be upon him: Fasting for one day and breaking the fast for one day." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
“Approached me”: He never consummated the marriage. ‘Abdullâh was diligently mindful of piety and righteousness. His attention, therefore, remained undrawn toward his wife. His father, instead of calling his attention directly, went forth to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ.
