أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الُوَارِثِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ فَيَّاضٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ ، فَقَالَ : " صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ " ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : " صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ " ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : " صُمْ ثَلاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ " ، قُلْتُ : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، قَالَ : " إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صَوْمُ دَاوُدَ " ، وَكَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا قَالَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : قَوْلُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " صُمْ يَوْمًا مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ وَلَكَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ " يُرِيدُ أَجْرَ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الْعِشْرِينِ ، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الثَّلاثِ إِذْ مُحَالٌ أَنَّ كَدَّهُ كُلَمَا كَثُرَ كَانَ أَنْقُصَ لأَجْرِهِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I asked him about fasting. He said: Fast one day in a month and you will get the reward for the rest. I said: I have the strength for more than that. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Fast three days in a month and you will get the reward for the rest. I said: I have the strength for more than that. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The most beloved way of fasting to Allah is the way of Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him); he would fast one day and not fast the next day. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:): The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "Fast one day in a month and you will get the reward for the rest," means: you will get the reward for what remains out of the thirty days, and their ruling will be the same in this way, because it is not possible that as a person's effort increases, his reward decreases accordingly.
