[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ relayed that I said, "I will fast for the entire year and stand in prayer for the whole night." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Is it you who said that you will fast for the entire year and stand in prayer for the whole night?" I replied, "Yes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ advised, "You are unable to do that. Instead, fast and break your fast, stand in prayer and sleep. Fast for three days every month, as the reward for good deeds is multiplied ten times." He ﷺ then explained its meaning.  

أحمد:٦٧٦١حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ

بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺأَنِّي أَقُولُ لَأَصُومَنَّ الدَّهْرَ وَلَأَقُومَنَّ اللَّيْلَ مَا بَقِيتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ أَوْ قُلْتَ لَأَصُومَنَّ الدَّهْرَ وَلَأَقُومَنَّ اللَّيْلَ مَا بَقِيتُ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقُمْ وَنَمْ وَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَصُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَإِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِمَعْنَى مَا تَأَوَّلَتُ خَبَرَ شُعْبَةَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْنَاهُ

[Machine] The translation of the given text is: "I informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I swear by Allah, I will fast during the day and stand up for prayer at night as long as I live. So, I told him about it. He said, 'You cannot do that, so fast and break your fast, sleep and wake up, and fast three days every month, for indeed, every good deed is multiplied ten times, and that is like fasting for a lifetime.'"  

ابن حبّان:٣٦٦٠أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْكَلَاعِيُّ بِحِمْصَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنِ الزُهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ وَأَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ قَالَ

أُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنِّي أَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ لَأَصُومَنَّ النَّهَارَ وَلَأَقُومَنَّ اللَّيْلَ مَا عِشْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ قُلْتُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ صُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ وَنَمْ وَقُمْ وَصُمْ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا وَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ صِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ»
