حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ، كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا، وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ صَلاَةُ دَاوُدَ، كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "The most beloved fasting to Allah was the fasting of (the Prophet) David who used to fast on alternate days. And the most beloved prayer to Allah was the prayer of David who used to sleep for (the first) half of the night and pray for 1/3 of it and (again) sleep for a sixth of it

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ عَائِشَةَ مَا أَلْفَاهُ السَّحَرُ عِنْدِيْ إِلَّا نَائِمًا ‘আলী (ইবনু মদ্বীনী) (রহ.) বলেন, এটাই ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ)-এর কথা যে, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম সর্বদা সাহরীকালে আমার নিকট নিদ্রিত থাকতেন। ৩৪২০. ‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘আমর (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম আমাকে বলেছেন, আল্লাহর নিকট অধিক পছন্দনীয় সওম হলো দাঊদ (আঃ)-এর নিয়মে সওম পালন করা। তিনি একদিন সওম পালন করতেন আর একদিন বিরত থাকতেন। আল্লাহর নিকট সবচেয়ে পছন্দনীয় সালাত হলো দাঊদ (আঃ)-এর নিয়মে সালাত আদায় করা। তিনি রাতের অর্ধাংশ ঘুমাতেন, রাতের এক তৃতীয়াংশ সালাতে দাঁড়াতেন আর বাকী ষষ্ঠাংশ আবার ঘুমাতেন। (১১৩১) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩১৬৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
