[Machine] "I prefer fasting to Allah, Most High. The fasting of Dawood (David) was that he used to fast one day and break his fast the next day. And I prefer prayer to Allah, Most High. The prayer of Dawood was that he used to pray half the night and sleep for a third of it and glorify Allah for a sixth of it." Abu Muhammad said, "The last statement is incorrect or a mistake. Rather, he used to sleep half of the night, pray a third of it, and glorify Allah for a sixth of it."
«أَحَبُّ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ صِيَامُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا وَأَحَبُّ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ صَلَاةُ دَاوُدَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي نِصْفًا وَيَنَامُ ثُلُثًا وَيُسَبِّحُ سُدُسًا» قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد «هَذَا اللَّفْظُ الْأَخِيرُ غَلَطٌ أَوْ خَطَأٌ إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَنَامُ نِصْفَ اللَّيْلِ وَيُصَلِّي ثُلُثَهُ وَيُسَبِّحُ سُدُسَهُ»
