مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ (١) رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا، ، ٦٤٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَمُغِيرَةَ الضَّبِّيِّ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: زَوَّجَنِي أَبِي امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ جَعَلْتُ لَا أَنْحَاشُ لَهَا، مِمَّا بِي مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ عَلَى الْعِبَادَةِ، مِنَ الصَّوْمِ وَالصَّلَاةِ، فَجَاءَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ إِلَى كَنَّتِهِ، حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: كَيْفَ وَجَدْتِ بَعْلَكِ؟ قَالَتْ: خَيْرَ الرِّجَالِ أَوْ كَخَيْرِ (١) الْبُعُولَةِ، مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَمْ يُفَتِّشْ لَنَا كَنَفًا، وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ (٢) لَنَا فِرَاشًا، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ، فَعَذَمَنِي، وَعَضَّنِي بِلِسَانِهِ، فَقَالَ: أَنْكَحْتُكَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ذَاتَ حَسَبٍ، فَعَضَلْتَهَا، وَفَعَلْتَ،، ، وَفَعَلْتَ (١) ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَشَكَانِي، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ، فَقَالَ لِي: " أَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " وَتَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ؟ " قُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: " لَكِنِّي أَصُومُ وَأُفْطِرُ، وَأُصَلِّي وَأَنَامُ، وَأَمَسُّ النِّسَاءَ، فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي "، قالَ: " اقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، - قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا، إِمَّا حُصَيْنٌ وَإِمَّا مُغِيرَةُ - قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ ثَلَاثٍ "، قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: " صُمْ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَرْفَعُنِي حَتَّى قَالَ: " صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا، فَإِنَّهُ أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ، وَهُوَ صِيَامُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ " صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، قَالَ حُصَيْنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: ثُمَّ قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ عَابِدٍ شِرَّةً، وَلِكُلِّ شِرَّةٍ فَتْرَةً، فَإِمَّا إِلَى سُنَّةٍ، وَإِمَّا إِلَى بِدْعَةٍ، فَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى سُنَّةٍ، فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فَتْرَتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ " قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَيْثُ (٢) ضَعُفَ وَكَبِرَ، يَصُومُ الْأَيَّامَ كَذَلِكَ، يَصِلُ بَعْضَهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ، لِيَتَقَوَّى بِذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ يُفْطِرُ بِعَدِّ تِلْكَ الْأَيَّامِ، قَالَ: وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ حِزْبِهِ كَذَلِكَ، يَزِيدُ، ، أَحْيَانًا، وَيَنْقُصُ أَحْيَانًا، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يُوفِي الْعَدَدَ، إِمَّا فِي سَبْعٍ، وَإِمَّا فِي ثَلَاثٍ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ كَانَ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ: " لَأَنْ أَكُونَ قَبِلْتُ رُخْصَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا عُدِلَ بِهِ أَوْ عَدَلَ، لَكِنِّي فَارَقْتُهُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ " (١)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that my father married me to a woman from the Quraysh. When I went to her, due to my strength and enthusiasm for acts of worship such as prayer and fasting, I did not pay any attention to her. The next day, my father, Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him), came to his daughter-in-law and asked her, "How did you find your husband?" She replied, "The best husband, who did not even seek my shadow nor did he approach my bed." Hearing this, he came to me and reproached me severely, saying harsh words and said, "I married you to a woman of good lineage from the Quraysh, and you showed such negligence, and did this and that." Then he went to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and complained about me. The Prophet (ﷺ) summoned me, and I presented myself. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked me, "Do you fast during the day?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Do you stand in prayer at night?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "But I fast and also leave fasting (i.e., do not fast every day), I pray at night and also sleep, and I go to women (i.e., fulfill marital relations). Whoever turns away from my Sunnah has nothing to do with me." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Recite the Qur'an once a month." I said, "I feel I have more strength than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Then complete it in three nights." After that, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Fast three days every month." I said, "I feel I have more strength than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) kept giving me some concession until finally he said, "Then fast one day and leave fasting one day. This is the best fast, and this was the way of my brother, Dawud (peace be upon him)." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every worshipper has an enthusiasm, and every enthusiasm has a period of decline—either towards the Sunnah or towards innovation. Whoever's decline is towards the Sunnah, he is guided, and whoever's decline is towards something else, he is destroyed." Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) became old and weak, even then he continued to fast in this manner, and sometimes he would combine several fasts together so that one would strengthen the other, and then he would leave fasting for the same number of days. Similarly, in the recitation of the Qur'an, sometimes he would increase or decrease, but he would definitely complete the number of seven or three. Later, he used to say, "If I had accepted the concession of the Prophet (ﷺ), it would have been more beloved to me than turning away from it, but now I do not like to oppose the state in which I parted from the Prophet (ﷺ)."
