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 Apostle! 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 fast –

more than that.” He said, “There is nothing better than that.”

who used to sleep for (the first) half of the night and pray for 1/3 of it and (again) sleep for a sixth of
it.”
