أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَلاَةُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَيَقُومُ ثُلُثَهُ وَيَنَامُ سُدُسَهُ ‏"‏ .

English translation
Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-As said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The most beloved fasting to Allah, the mighty and sublime, is the fast of Dawud, peace be upon him. He used to fast one day and not the next. And the most beloved prayer to Allah, the mighty and sublime, is the prayer of Dawud, peace be upon him. He used to sleep half the night, stand for one-third of it (in prayer), and sleep for one-sixth of it
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। কুতায়বা (রহঃ) ... আব্দুল্লাহ ইবনু আমর (রাঃ) বলেন যে, রাসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ আল্লাহ তা’আলার কাছে সবচেয়ে পছন্দনীয় সাওম দাঊদ (আঃ) এর সাওম। তিনি একদিন সাওম পালন করতেন আর একদিন সাওম পালন করতেন না। আর আল্লাহ তা'আলার কাছে সবচেয়ে পছন্দনীয় সালাত দাঊদ (আঃ) এর সালাত। তিনি-অর্ধরাত্র নিদ্রা যেতেন এবং রাত্রের এক তৃতীয়াংশ সালাত আদায় করতেন আবার রাত্রের ষষ্ঠমাংশ নিদ্রা যেতেন।
