(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الْمَكِّيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَفْضَلُ الصَّوْمِ صَوْمُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ ، كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا ، وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَى " . (حديث مرفوع) (حديث موقوف) وقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا صَامَ مَنْ صَامَ الْأَبَدَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The most beloved way of fasting is that of Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him); he would fast one day and leave it the next day, and he would not flee when facing the enemy. He also said: 'The one who fasts continuously has not truly fasted.'"
