Follow moderation in religious practices; Be brave when faced with difficult situations; Follow example set by prophets; Have patience while observing religious practices; Exercise self control while observing religious practices

This hadith highlights the importance of fasting in Islam and its many benefits. It is narrated by Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-As that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked him if it was true that he prayed all nights and observed fast all days. To this, Abdullah replied in affirmative. The Prophet then advised him to fast three days a month as it is equivalent to fasting for an entire year. He further suggested that if one has the capacity, they should follow the example of prophet David who used to observe alternate day fasting and would not flee from battle when faced with an enemy. This hadith teaches us about moderation in our religious practices so we can benefit from them without overburdening ourselves or becoming bored with them. It also encourages us to be brave like prophet David when faced with difficult situations or enemies instead of running away from them out of fear or cowardice.
