2402. It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Amr said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to me: 'Read the Qur'ân in a month.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' And I kept asking him until he said: 'In five days.' And he said: 'Fast three days a month.' I said: 'I am able to do more than that.' and I kept asking him until he said: 'Observe the most beloved of fasting to Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, the fast of Dâwûd. He used to fast one day and not the next.'" (Sahîh)
2400 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي شَهْرٍ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَالَ: «فِي خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ»، وَقَالَ: «صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ»، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَالَ: «صُمْ أَحَبَّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ، كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا»
