Hadith #38824
وعن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص، رضي الله عنهما، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، قال:
"أحب الصلاة إلى الله صلاة داود، وأحب الصيام إلى الله صيام داود، كان ينام نصف الليل ويقوم ثلثه وينام سدسه ويصوم يومًا ويفطر يومًا". ((متفق عليه)) .
On the authority of Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may God be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said:
“The most beloved prayer to God is the prayer of David, and the most beloved fast to God is the fasting of David. He used to sleep half the night, get up a third of it, sleep a sixth of it, fast one day and break his fast the next.” (Agreed upon)
