أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ عَطَاءً، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ الشَّاعِرَ أَخْبَرَهُ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَغَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنِّي أَصُومُ أَسْرُدُ الصَّوْمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ وَإِمَّا لَقِيَهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَصُومُ وَلَا تُفْطِرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَتُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَا تَفْعَلْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ لِعَيْنِكَ حَظًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلِنَفْسِكَ حَظًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلِأَهْلِكَ حَظًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصَلِّ وَنَمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ يَوْمًا وَلَكَ أَجْرُ تِسْعَةٍ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي أَقْوَى لِذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ! قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صُمْ صِيَامَ دَاوُدَ ،‏‏‏‏ إِذًا قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَيْفَ كَانَ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَى ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ لِي بِهَذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ.

Abduallah bin amr bin Al-'As said: The Messenger of Allah heard that I was fasting continually and praying all night. Either he sent for him, or he happened to meet him and he said: Have I not been told that you fast and never break your fast, and you pray all night? Do not do that, for do that, for your eyes should have a share, your self should have a share, and your family should have a share. Fast and break your fast; pray and sleep. Fast one day out of every ten, and your will have the reward of the other nine. He said: I am able to do more than that, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Observe the fast of Dawud then. I said: 'How did Dawud fast, O Prophet of Allah? He said: 'He used to fast one day, and not the next, and he never fled if he met(the enemy in battle). ' He said: How can I compare to him, O Prophet of Allah?
