Hadith 3276
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The reciting of the Zabur (i.e. Psalms) was made easy for David. He used to order
that his riding animals be saddled, and would finish reciting the Zabur before they were saddled. And
he would never eat except from the earnings of his manual work."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 89

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was informed that I have said: "By Allah, I will fast all the days and pray all the nights
as long as I live." On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) asked me. "Are you the one who says: 'I will fast all the
days and pray all the nights as long as I live?' " I said, "Yes, I have said it." He said, "You cannot do
that. So fast (sometimes) and do not fast (sometimes). Pray and sleep. Fast for three days a month, for
the reward of a good deed is multiplied by ten time, and so the fasting of three days a month equals
the fasting of a year." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I can do (fast) more than this." He said, "Fast on
every third day. I said: I can do (fast) more than that, He said: "Fast on alternate days and this was the
fasting of David which is the most moderate sort of fasting." I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I can do (fast)
more than that." He said, "There is nothing better than that." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 60, Hadith 90
