حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ وَسُفْيَانَ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ الصَّوْمِ صَوْمُ أَخِي دَاوُدَ كَانَ يَصُومُ يَوْمًا وَيُفْطِرُ يَوْمًا وَلَا يَفِرُّ إِذَا لَاقَىقَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ هُوَ الشَّاعِرُ الْمَكِّيُّ الْأَعْمَى وَاسْمُهُ السَّائِبُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ أَنْ تَصُومَ يَوْمًا وَتُفْطِرَ يَوْمًا وَيُقَالُ هَذَا هُوَ أَشَدُّ الصِّيَامِ
English Translation
Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hannad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'] dari [Mis'ar] dan [Sufyan] dari [Habib bin Abu Tsabit] dari [Abu Al Abbas] dari [Abdullah bin Amru] berkata; "Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Sebaik-baik puasa ialah puasa Daud. Dia berpuasa sehari dan berbuka sehari. Tidak lari ketika bertemu musuh." Abu 'Isa berkata; "Ini adalah hadits hasan shahih. Abu Al Abbas ialah penyair Makkah yang buta, namanya As Sa`ib bin Farrukh." Sebagian ulama mengatakan: "Sebaik-baik puasa ialah kamu berpuasa sehari dan berbuka sehari. Ada yang berpendapat bahwa itu adalah puasa yang paling berat."

Imam at-Tirmidhi was a student of Imam al-Bukhari and Abu Dawud. His collection is distinctive for including the grading (hasan, sahih, da'if) of each hadith alongside notes on which madhab (legal school) relies on it — making it both a hadith collection and a work of hadith criticism.
Jami' at-Tirmidhi is the only collection in the Kutub al-Sittah where the compiler grades every hadith himself, notes scholarly differences, and indicates legal usage.
