Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was informed that I had taken an oath to fast daily and to pray (every night) all the night throughout my life (so Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and asked whether it was correct): I replied, "Let my parents be sacrificed for you! I said so." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You can not do that. So, fast for few days and give it up for few days, offer Salat (prayer) and sleep. Fast three days a month as the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times and that will be equal to one year of fasting." I replied, "I can do better than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Fast one day and give up fasting for two days." I replied, "I can do better than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Fast one day and give up fasting for a day and that is the fasting of Prophet David and that is the best fasting." I said, "I have the power to fast better (more) than that." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is no better fasting than that

Abdullah bin Amr (رضی اللہ عنہما) bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool ko yeh khabar mili ke maine har din roza rakhne aur poori zindagi (har raat) poori raat namaz padhne ki qasam khaayi hai (isliye Allah ke Rasool mere paas aaye aur pucha kya yeh sahi hai): Maine jawab diya: "Mere maa-baap aap par qurban hon! Maine aisa kaha." Nabi ne kaha: "Tum aisa nahi kar sakte. Isliye kuch din roza rakho aur kuch din chhod do, namaz padho aur so bhi jao. Mahine mein teen din roza rakho kyunke neik amal ka ajr das guna badhaya jaata hai aur yeh ek saal ke roze ke barabar hoga." Maine kaha: "Main isse zyada kar sakta hoon." Nabi ne mujhse kaha: "Ek din roza rakho aur do din chhod do." Maine kaha: "Main isse zyada kar sakta hoon." Nabi ne mujhse kaha: "Ek din roza rakho aur ek din chhod do, aur yehi Nabi Dawud ka roza hai aur yehi behtareen roza hai." Maine kaha: "Mujhme isse zyada roza rakhne ki taaqat hai." Nabi ne kaha: "Isse behtar koi roza nahi."
