2396. It was narrated from ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: "Fast one day, and you will have the reward of what is left." He said: "I am able to do more than that." He said: "Fast two days and you will have the reward of what is left." He said: "I am able to do more than that." He said: "Fast three days and you will have the reward of what is left." He said: "I am able to do more than that." He said: "Fast four days and you will have the reward of what is left." He said: "I am able to do more than that." He said: "Observe the best kind of fasting before Allâh, the fast of Dâwûd, peace be upon him; he used to fast one day and break his fast for one day." (Sahih)

2394 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ فَيَّاضٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِيَاضٍ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ لَهُ: «صُمْ يَوْمًا وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «صُمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ»، قَالَ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «صُمْ أَفْضَلَ الصِّيَامِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ، صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا»
