حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ أَوْسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهُ ‏ "‏ أَحَبُّ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صَلاَةُ دَاوُدَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ وَأَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ، وَكَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ، وَيَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু ‘আমর ইবনুল ‘আস(রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম তাঁকে বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহর নিকট সর্বাধিক প্রিয় সালাত হল দাঊদ (‘আ.)-এর সালাত। আর আল্লাহ্ তা‘আলার নিকট সর্বাধিক প্রিয় সিয়াম হল দাঊদ (‘আ.)-এর সিয়াম। তিনি [দাঊদ (‘আ.)] অর্ধরাত পর্যন্ত ঘুমাতেন, এক তৃতীয়াংশ তাহাজ্জুদ সালাত আদায় করতেন এবং রাতের এক ষষ্ঠাংশ ঘুমাতেন। তিনি একদিন সিয়াম পালন করতেন, একদিন সওমবিহীন অবস্থায় থাকতেন। (১১৫২, ১১৫৩, ১৯৭৪ হতে ১৯৮০, ৩৪১৮, ৩৪২০, ৫০৫২, ৫০৫৪, ৫১৯৯, ৬১৩৪, ৬২৭৭; মুসলিম ১৩/৩৫, হাঃ ১১৫৯, আহমাদ ৬৫০১, ৬৯৩৭) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ১০৬০, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
