Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: Allah's Apostle was informed that I had taken an oath to fast daily and to pray (every night) all the night throughout my life (so Allah's Apostle came to me and asked whether it was correct): I replied, Let my parents be sacrificed for you! I said so. The Prophet said, You can not do that. So, fast for few days and give it up for few days, r ray and sleep. Fast three days a month as the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times and that will be equal to one year of fasting. I replied, I can do better than that. The Prophet said to me, Fast one day and give up fasting for a day and that is the fasting of Prophet David and that is the best fasting. I said, I have the power to fast better (more) than that. The Prophet said, There is no better fasting than that.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : أُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنِّي أَقُولُ : وَاللَّهِ لَأَصُومَنَّ النَّهَارَ ، وَلَأَقُومَنَّ اللَّيْلَ مَا عِشْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : قَدْ قُلْتُهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ ، فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ ، وَقُمْ وَنَمْ ، وَصُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ، فَإِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا ، وَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَصُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمَيْنِ ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : فَصُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا ، فَذَلِكَ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام وَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لَا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ .
ہم سے ابوالیمان نے بیان کیا، کہا کہ ہم کو شعیب نے خبر دی، انہیں زہری نے، کہا کہ مجھے سعید بن مسیب اور ابوسلمہ بن عبدالرحمٰن نے خبر دی کہ عبداللہ بن عمرو رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہا کہ   رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم تک میری یہ بات پہنچا گئی کہ ”اللہ کی قسم! زندگی بھر میں دن میں تو روزے رکھوں گا۔ اور ساری رات عبادت کروں گا“ میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے عرض کی، میرے ماں باپ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم پر فدا ہوں، ہاں میں نے یہ کہا ہے، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا لیکن تیرے اندر اس کی طاقت نہیں، اس لیے روزہ بھی رکھ اور بے روزہ بھی رہ۔ عبادت بھی کر لیکن سوؤ بھی اور مہینے میں تین دن کے روزے رکھا کر۔ نیکیوں کا بدلہ دس گنا ملتا ہے، اس طرح یہ ساری عمر کا روزہ ہو جائے گا، میں نے کہا کہ میں اس سے بھی زیادہ کی طاقت رکھتا ہوں، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ پھر ایک دن روزہ رکھا کر اور دو دن کے لیے روزے چھوڑ دیا کر۔ میں نے پھر کہا کہ میں اس سے بھی زیادہ کی طاقت رکھتا ہوں۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اچھا ایک دن روزہ رکھ اور ایک دن بے روزہ کے رہ کہ داؤد علیہ السلام کا روزہ ایسا ہی تھا۔ اور روزہ کا یہ سب سے افضل طریقہ ہے۔ میں نے اب بھی وہی کہا کہ مجھے اس سے بھی زیادہ کی طاقت ہے لیکن اس مرتبہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اس سے افضل کوئی روزہ نہیں ہے۔

sahih-bukhari-1977

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: The news of my daily fasting and praying every night throughout the night reached the Prophet. So he sent for me or I met him, and he said, I have been informed that you fast everyday and pray every night (all the night). Fast (for some days) and give up fasting (for some days); pray and sleep, for your eyes have a right on you, and your body and your family (i.e. wife) have a right on you. I replied, I have more power than that (fasting). The Prophet said, Then fast like the fasts of (the Prophet) David . I said, How? He replied, He used to fast on alternate days, and he used not to flee on meeting the enemy. I said, From where can I get that chance? (`Ata' said, I do not know how the expression of fasting daily throughout the life occurred. ) So, the Prophet said, twice, Whoever fasts daily throughout his life is just as the one who does not fast at all.

sahih-bukhari-1979

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As: The Prophet said to me, You fast daily all the year and pray every night all the night? I replied in the affirmative. The Prophet said, If you keep on doing this, your eyes will become weak and your body will get tired. He who fasts all the year is as he who did not fast at all. The fasting of three days (a month) will be equal to the tasting of the whole year. I replied, I have the power for more than this. The Prophet said, Then fast like the fasting of David who used to fast on alternate days and would never flee from the battle field, on meeting the enemy.

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: Allah's Apostle was informed about my fasts, and he came to me and I spread for him a leather cushion stuffed with palm fires, but he sat on the ground and the cushion remained between me and him, and then he said, Isn't it sufficient for you to fast three days a month? I replied, O Allah's Apostle! (I can fast more). He said, Five? I replied, O Allah's Apostle! (I can fast more). He said, Seven? I replied, O Allah's Apostle! (I can fast more). He said, Nine (days per month)? I replied, O Allah's Apostle! (I can fast more) He said, Eleven (days per month)? And then the Prophet said, There is no fast superior to that of the Prophet David it was for half of the year. So, fast on alternate days.

sahih-bukhari-1982

Narrated Anas: The Prophet paid a visit to Um-Sulaim and she placed before him dates and ghee. The Prophet said, Replace the ghee and dates in their respective containers for I am fasting. Then he stood somewhere in her house and offered an optional prayer and then he invoked good on Um-Sulaim and her family. Then Um-Sulaim said, O Allah's Apostle! I have a special request (today). He said, What is it? She replied, (Please invoke for) your servant Anas. So Allah's Apostle did not leave anything good in the world or the Hereafter which he did not invoke (Allah to bestow) on me and said, O Allah! Give him (i.e. Anas) property and children and bless him. Thus I am one of the richest among the Ansar and my daughter Umaina told me that when Al-Hajjaj came to Basra, more than 120 of my offspring had been buried.
