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?"
