Narrated `Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As:The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "You fast daily all the year and pray every night all the night?" I replied in the affirmative.

Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas (رضی اللہ عنہما) bataate hain: Nabi ne mujhse kaha: "Tum har-roz roza rakhte ho aur poori raat namaz padhte ho?" Maine haan mein jawab diya. Nabi ne kaha: "Agar tum aisa karte rahoge, tumhari aankhein kamzor ho jaayengi aur tumhara jism thak jaayega. Jo poori zindagi roza rakhta hai woh usi jaisa hai jo bilkul roza nahi rakhta. Teen din (mahine mein) ka roza poore saal ke roze ke barabar hoga." Maine jawab diya: "Mujhme isse zyada taaqat hai." Nabi ne kaha: "To Nabi Dawud jaisa roza rakho jo alternate din roza rakhte the aur dushman se milne par jung ke maidan se kabhi bhaagte nahi the."
