حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ، يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " اقْرَأِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي شَهْرٍ "، فَقُلْتُ (٣) : إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ (٤) أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ، حَتَّى قَالَ: " اقْرَإِ الْقُرْآنَ فِي خَمْسَةِ أَيَّامٍ، وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ أَحَبَّ الصَّوْمِ (٥) إِلَى اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، صَوْمِ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، كَانَ، ، يَصُومُ يَوْمًا، وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: "Recite the Qur'an once a month." I said, "I have strength for more than that." I kept requesting continuously until the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Recite the Qur'an in five days, and fast three days in a month." I said, "I have strength for more than that." The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Then fast in the manner that is most beloved to Allah, and it is the way of Dawood (peace be upon him): he would fast one day and leave fasting the next day."
