أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ أَيْ عَمِّ حَدِّثْنِي عَمَّا،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ أَجْمَعْتُ عَلَى أَنْ أَجْتَهِدَ اجْتِهَادًا شَدِيدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى قُلْتُ لَأَصُومَنَّ الدَّهْرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَأَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَمِعَ بِذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَانِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فِي دَارِي،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ لَأَصُومَنَّ الدَّهْرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَأَقْرَأَنَّ الْقُرْآنَ ،‏‏‏‏ فَقُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ قَدْ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ صُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصُمْ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمَيْنِ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ ،‏‏‏‏ قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ فَإِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكِ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَصُمْ صِيَامَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهُ أَعْدَلُ الصِّيَامِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمًا صَائِمًا وَيَوْمًا مُفْطِرًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا وَعَدَ لَمْ يُخْلِفْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا لَاقَى لَمْ يَفِرَّ .

I entered upon 'Abdullah bin 'Amr رضی اللہ عنہما and said: O uncle, tell me what the Messenger of Allah said to you. He said: O son of my brother, I had resolved to strive very hard until I said: I will fast for the rest of my life and I will read the whole Quran every day and night. The Messenger of Allah heard about that, and came in to me in my house, and said: I have heard that you said, I will fast for a lifetime and will read the Quran. I said: I did say that, O Messenger of Allah. He said; Do not do that. Fast three days of each month. I said: I am able to do more than that. He said: fast two days of each week, Monday and Thursday. I said: I am able to do more than that. He said; Observe the fast of Dawud, peace be upon him, for it is the best kind of fasting before Allah; one day fasting, and one day not fasting. And when he made a promise he did not break it, and when he met (the enemy in battle) he did not flee.
