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.

وحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْمَلِيحِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِيكَ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو فَحَدَّثَنَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذُكِرَ لَهُ صَوْمِي، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ، فَأَلْقَيْتُ لَهُ وِسَادَةً مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، وَصَارَتِ الْوِسَادَةُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ، فَقَالَ لِي: «أَمَا يَكْفِيكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ؟» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «خَمْسًا» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «سَبْعًا» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «تِسْعًا» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: «أَحَدَ عَشَرَ» قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا صَوْمَ فَوْقَ صَوْمِ دَاوُدَ، شَطْرُ الدَّهْرِ، صِيَامُ يَوْمٍ، وَإِفْطَارُ يَوْمٍ»

ابو قلابہ ( بن زید بن عامر الجرمی البصری ) نے کہا : مجھے ابوملیح نے خبر دی ، کہا : میں تمھارے والد کے ہمراہ سیدنا عبداللہ بن عمرو رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کے پاس گیا تو انھوں نے ہمیں حدیث سنائی کے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے سامنے میرے روزوں کاذکر کیا گیا تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم میرے ہاں تشریف لائے ، میں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے لئے چمڑے کاایک تکیہ رکھا جس میں کھجور کی چھال بھری ہوئی تھی ۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم زمین پر بیٹھ گئے اور تکہہ میرے اورآپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے درمیان میں آگیا ، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے مجھے فرمایا : " کیا تمھیں ہر مہینے میں سے تین دن ( کے روزے ) کافی نہیں؟ " میں نے عرض کی اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( اس سے زیادہ ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : پانچ ۔ " میں نے عرض کی اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( اس سے زیادہ ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : سات ۔ " میں نے عرض کی اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( اس سے زیادہ ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : نو ۔ " میں نے عرض کی اللہ کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ( اس سے زیادہ ) آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : گیارہ ۔ " آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : داود علیہ السلام کے روزوں سے بڑھ کر کوئی ر وزے نہیں ہیں ، آدھا زمانہ ، ایک دن روزہ رکھنا اور ایک دن نہ رکھنا ۔ "

Amr (Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) had said to him: Observe fast for a day and there would be reward for you for the rest (of the days). He said: I am capable of doing more than this. He then said: Observe fast for two days, and there would be reward for you for the rest (of the days). He said: I am capable of doing more than this. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe fast for three days and there would be reward for you for the rest of the days. He said: I am capable of doing more than this, whereupon he said: Observe fast for four days and there would be reward for you for the rest of the days. He said: I am capable of doing more than this. Thereupon he said: Then observe fast (which is the) best in the eye of Allah, the fast of David (peace be upon him) ; he used to observe fast one day and break on the other day.

sahih-muslim-2743

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.

sahih-muslim-2746

Abu Qatada reported that a person came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and said: How do you fast? The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) felt annoyed. When 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) noticed his annoyance, he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life, and with Muhammad as our Prophet. We seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and that of His Messenger. 'Umar kept on repeating these words till his (the Prophet's) anger calmed down. Then Umar said: Messenger of Allah, what is the position of one who fasts perpetually? He ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: He neither fasted nor broke it, or he said: He did not fast and he did not break it. 'Umar said: What about him who fasts for two days and does not fast one day? He ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Is anyone capable of doing that? He ('Umar) said: What is the position of him who fasts for a day and doesn't fast on the other day? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: That is the fast of David (peace be upon him). He ('Umar) said: What about him who fasts one day and doesn't fast for two days. Thereupon he (the Messenger of Allah) said: I wish I were given the strength to do that. Thereafter he ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Fasting three days every month and that of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fasting. I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of 'Arafa may atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming years, and I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of Ashura may atone for the sins of the preceding year.

sahih-muslim-2747

Abu Qatada al-Ansari (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) felt annoyed. Thereupon 'Umar (Allah be pleased with him) said: We are pleased with Allah as the Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad as the Messenger and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred) commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it. He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy Prophet) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May Allah bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my brother David (peace be upon him). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It was the day on which I was born. on which I was commissioned with prophethood or revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days' fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year. (Imam Muslim said that in this hadith there is a) narration of Imam Shu'ba that he was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday, but we (Imam Muslim) did not mention Thursday for we found it as an error (in reporting).
