وَعَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ

قَالَ: «أُخْبِرَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ اِمْرَأَتَهُ ثَلَاثَ تَطْلِيقَاتٍ جَمِيعًا، فَقَامَ غَضْبَانَ ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَيُلْعَبُ بِكِتَابِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَأَنَا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ». حَتَّى قَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ! أَلَا أَقْتُلُهُ ?»

WHen the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was informed about a man who had divorced his wife with all three pronouncements (without any interval between them), he stood up in anger and said, ‘Is Allah’s Book being played with while I am among you?’ As a result a man got up and said, “O Messenger of Allah, shall I kill him?”.

ضعيف. رواه النسائي (6 / 142 - 143)، ورواته ثقات، ولكنه من رواية مخرمة بن بكير، عن أبيه، ولم يسمع منه

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was told that ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Amr swore to fast every day and stay in prayer all night without sleep for his entire life.

So he asked him whether he had said that and he answered that he had. The Prophet told him that such a commitment would be beyond his endurance, so he should combine worship with rest by fasting and eating; praying at night and sleeping and restricting his voluntary fasting to three days a month, which would grant him the reward of fasting the whole year.

However, ‘Abdullāh said that he could handle more than that. He kept asking to do more fasting until he reached its ultimate form, which is fasting like Prophet Dawūd, namely fasting every other day.

He asked to do more from a desire to do more good deeds, but the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) told him that there was no fast better than that.
