Abdullah b. 'Amr (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said to me: I have been informed that you stand for prayer the whole of night and fast during the day. I said: I do that, whereupon he said: If you did that you in fact strained heavily your eyes and made yourself weak. There is a right of your eyes (upon you) and a right of your self (upon you) and a right of your family (upon you). Stand for prayer and sleep. observe fasts and break (them).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ؟» قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: «فَإِنَّكَ، إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ، هَجَمَتْ عَيْنَاكَ، وَنَفِهَتْ نَفْسُكَ، لِعَيْنِكَ حَقٌّ، وَلِنَفْسِكَ حَقٌّ، وَلِأَهْلِكَ حَقٌّ، قُمْ وَنَمْ، وَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ»
  سفیان بن عینیہ نے عمر و سے ، انھوں نے ابوعباس سے ، انھوں نے حضرت عبداللہ بن عمر و رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سےروایت کی ، کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے مجھ سے ارشاد فرمایا : " کیا مجھے خبر نہیں دی گئی کہ تم رات بھر قیام کرتے ہو اور ( روزانہ ) دن کا روزہ رکھتے ہو؟ " میں نے عرض کی : میں یہ کام کرتا ہوں ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " جب تم یہ کام کرو گے تو ( اس کانتیجہ یہ ہوگاکہ ) تمھاری آنکھیں اندر کو دھنس جائیں گی ۔ اور تمھاری جان کمزورہوجائے گی ۔ تم پر تمھاری آنکھ کا حق ہے ۔ تمھاری اپنی ذات کا حق ہے ۔ اور تمھارے گھر والوں کاحق ہے ۔ قیام کرو اورنیند بھی لو ، روزہ رکھو بھی اور روزہ چھوڑو بھی ۔ "

Abu Qatada reported that Abu al Malih informed me: I went along with your father to 'Abdullah b. Amr, and he narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was informed about my fasting and he came to me, and I placed a leather cushion filled with fibre of date-palms for him. 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). Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: There is no fasting (better than) the fasting of David which comprises half of the age, fasting a day and not fasting a day.

Abdullah b. 'Amr (Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said to me! 'Abdullah b. 'Amr, it has been conveyed to me that you observe fast during the day and stand in prayer during the whole night. Don't do that, for your body has a share of its own in you, your eye has a share of its own in you, your wife has a share of her own in you. Observe fast and break it too. Fast for three days in every month and that is a prepetual fasting. I said! Messenger of Allah, I have got strength enough (to do more than this), whereupon he said: Then observe the fast of David (peace be upon him). Observe fast one day and break it (on the other) day. And he ('Abdullah b. 'Amr) used to say: Would that I had availed myself of this concession.
