Hadith 2105
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنٌ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ رَجُلا مُجْتَهِدًا ، فَزَوَّجَنِي أَبِي ، ثُمَّ زَارَنِي ، فَقَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ : كَيْفَ تَجِدِينَ بَعْلَكِ ؟ فَقَالَتْ : نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ لا يَنَامُ ، وَلا يُفْطِرُ . قَالَ : فَوَقَعَ بِي أَبِي ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : زَوَّجْتُكَ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ، فَعَضَلْتَهَا ، فَلَمْ أُبَالِ مَا قَالَ لِي مِمَّا أَجِدُ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ وَالاجْتِهَادِ ، إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَكِنِّي أَنَامُ وَأُصَلِّي ، وَأَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ ، فَنَمْ وَصَلِّ ، وَأَفْطِرْ ، وَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَا أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ : " فَصُمْ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ ، صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا ، وَاقْرَإِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ " ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَا أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ : " اقْرَأْهُ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ " . قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَنَا أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قَالَ حُصَيْنٌ : فَذَكَرَ لِي مَنْصُورٌ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَ سَبْعًا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَمَلٍ شِرَّةً ، وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةٌ ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّتِي ، فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ " . فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : لأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي مِثْلُ أَهْلِي وَمَالِي ، وَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ شَيْخٌ قَدْ كَبِرْتُ وَضَعُفْتُ ، وَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَتْرُكَ مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that I was a person who exerted himself greatly in worship. So my respected father got me married. Then he came to visit me and asked my wife, "How have you found your husband?" She replied, "He is a very good and pious man who neither sleeps at night nor leaves fasting during the day." He says that my father scolded me severely and then said, "I have married you to a noble Muslim woman, and you have deprived her of her marital rights." But due to my strength and effort in worship, I paid no heed to my father's words until this matter reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "But I sleep and (also) pray at night. I also fast and sometimes I do not fast. Therefore, you should also sleep (at night) and pray as well. Sometimes leave fasting too. And fast three days every month." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have the strength to do more than this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then observe the fast of Dawud (peace be upon him). Fast one day and leave one day, and complete the Qur'an once every month." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have the strength and determination to do more than this." Mujahid says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised and instructed to complete the Qur'an in seven days, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, every action has enthusiasm and desire, and for every enthusiasm and desire there is a period of slackness. So whoever's slackness is according to the Sunnah of the Prophet, he is rightly guided, and whoever's slackness is due to any other reason, he is destroyed." So Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "If I had accepted the concession of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it would have been more beloved to me than my family and the blessings of wealth and property, and today I have become old and weak. And I dislike abandoning the deed which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to do."
