حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ح و حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ فَيَّاضٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عِيَاضٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ صُمْ يَوْمًا وَلَکَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ قَالَ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ صُمْ يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَکَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ قَالَ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَکَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ قَالَ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ صُمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَلَکَ أَجْرُ مَا بَقِيَ قَالَ إِنِّي أُطِيقُ أَکْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِکَ قَالَ صُمْ أَفْضَلَ الصِّيَامِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ صَوْمَ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام کَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا

صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2742

Abu Qatada reported that Abu al Malih informed me: I went along with your father to 'Abdullah b. Amr, and he narrated to us that the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) was informed about my fasting and he came to me, and I placed a leather cushion filled with fibre of date-palms for him. He sat down upon the ground and there was that cushion between me and him, and he said to me: Does three days' fasting in a month not suffice you? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He said: (Would) five (not suffice for you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts) He said: (Would) seven (fasts) not suffice you? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He (the Holy Prophet) then said: (Would) nine (fasts not suffice you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts). He said: (Would) eleven (fasts not suffice you)? I said: Messenger of Allah, (I am capable of observing more fasts than these). Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: There is no fasting (better than) the fasting of David which comprises half of the age, fasting a day and not fasting a day.
