أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ذُكِرَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ:‏‏‏‏ لَأَقُومَنَّ اللَّيْلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَأَصُومَنَّ النَّهَارَ مَا عِشْتُ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ قُلْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ! فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ فَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَنَمْ وَقُمْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَصُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمَيْنِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ! قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَذَلِكَ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ وَهُوَ أَعْدَلُ الصِّيَامِ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو:‏‏‏‏ لَأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ الثَّلَاثَةَ الْأَيَّامَ الَّتِي قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي.

It was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم that he had said: I will certainly stand all night (in prayer) and fast every day for as long as I live. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Are you the one who said that? I said: 'I said it, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah said: 'You cannot do that. Fast and break your fast, sleep and stand (in prayer), and fast three days of each month. For a good deed is equal to ten like it, and that is like fasting for a lifetime.' I said: 'But I am able to do better than that.' He said: 'Fast for one day and break your fast for two days.' I said: 'I am able to do better than that, O Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Then fast for one day and break your fast for two days.' I said: 'I am able to do better than that, O Messenger of Allah said : 'There is noting better than that. ' 'Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہما said: If I had accepted the three days that the Messenger of Allah said, that would be dearer to me than my family and my wealth.
