حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، فَسَأَلَنِي، وَهُوَ يَظُنُّ أَنِّي لِأُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ ابْنَةِ عُقْبَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّمَا أَنَا لِلْكَلْبِيَّةِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْتِي، فَقَالَ: " أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ؟ فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ "، قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي نِصْفِ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ " (١) ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَاقْرَأْهُ فِي كُلِّ سَبْعٍ، لَا تَزِيدَنَّ، وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ؟ " قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي لَأَصُومُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ يَوْمَيْنِ "، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: إِنِّي أَقْوَى عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: " فَصُمْ، ، صِيَامَ دَاوُدَ، صُمْ يَوْمًا وَأَفْطِرْ يَوْمًا، فَإِنَّهُ أَعْدَلُ الصِّيَامِ عِنْدَ اللهِ، وَكَانَ لَا يُخْلِفُ إِذَا وَعَدَ، وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَى " (١)،
Translation
English translation
Abu Salamah bin Abdur Rahman says that once I went to the service of Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). He thought that I was the son of Umm Kulthum bint Uqbah, so he asked me about her. I told him that I was the son of Kalbiyah. Then he said: "Once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to my house and said: 'I have come to know that you recite the entire Qur'an in one day and night? Recite only one Qur'an in a month.' I said, 'I feel I have more strength than that.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Then complete it in fifteen days.' I said, 'I feel I have more strength than that.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Then complete it in seven nights, and do not increase upon that.' After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'I have come to know that you always fast?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah!' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'Fast three days in every month.' I said, 'I feel I have more strength than that.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kept giving me some concession until finally he said: 'Then fast one day and leave one day, like Dawud (peace be upon him). This is the best fast, and he would not break his promise, nor would he flee when facing the enemy.'"
