Abdullah b. Amr (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said to me: 'Abdullah b. Amr, you fast continuously and stand in prayer for the whole of night. If you do like that, your eyes would be highly strained and would sink and lose sight. There is no (reward for) fasting (for him) who fasts perpetually. Fasting for three days during the month is like fasting, the whole of the month. I said: I am capable of doing more than this, whereupon he said: Observe the fast of David. He used to fast one day and break (the other) day. And he did not turn back in the encounter.

وحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ، سَمِعَ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو إِنَّكَ لَتَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ، وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ، وَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ، هَجَمَتْ لَهُ الْعَيْنُ، وَنَهَكَتْ لَا صَامَ مَنْ صَامَ الْأَبَدَ، صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ، صَوْمُ الشَّهْرِ كُلِّهِ» قُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «فَصُمْ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ، كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَى»

شعبہ نے ہمیں حبیب سے حدیث بیا ن کی ، انھوں نے ابو عباس ( سائب بن فروخ ) سے سنا ، انھوں نے عبداللہ بن عمرو سے سنا ، کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے مجھ سے فرمایا : " اے عبداللہ بن عمرو!تم ہمیشہ ( بلاوقفہ روازانہ ) روزے رکھتے ہو اور رات بھر قیام کرتے ہو اور جب تم ایسا ہی کرو گے تو ( ایسا کرنے والے کی ) آنکھیں اندر دھنس جائیں گی اور ( جا گ جاگ کر ) کمزور ہوجائیں گی ، ( اور جہاں تک اجر کا تعلق ہے تو ) جس نے ہمیشہ روزہ رکھا ، اس نے روزہ نہ رکھا ، مہینے میں سے تیس دن کے روزے پورے مہینے کے روزے ( متصور ) ہوں گے ۔ " میں نے عرض کی : میں اس سے زیادہ ( روزے رکھنے ) کی طاقت رکھتاہوں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " تم داود علیہ السلام کے روزے کی طرح روزے رکھو ، وہ ایک دن روزہ رکھتے تھے اور ایک دن ترک کرتے تھے اور ( دشمن سے ) آمنے سامنے کے وقت بھاگتے نہیں تھے ۔ "

He sat down upon the ground and there was that cushion between me and him, and he said to me: Does three days' fasting in a month not suffice you? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He said: (Would) five (not suffice for you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts) He said: (Would) seven (fasts) not suffice you? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He (the Holy Prophet) then said: (Would) nine (fasts not suffice you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He said: (Would) eleven (fasts not suffice you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts than these).
