Sahih Muslim Book - 13, Hadith - 2738

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِى الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو - رضى الله عنهما - قَالَ قَالَ لِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَلَمْ أُخْبَرْ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَتَصُومُ النَّهَارَ ». قُلْتُ إِنِّى أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ « فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ هَجَمَتْ عَيْنَاكَ وَنَفِهَتْ نَفْسُكَ لِعَيْنِكَ حَقٌّ وَلِنَفْسِكَ حَقٌّ وَلأَهْلِكَ حَقٌّ قُمْ وَنَمْ وَصُمْ وَأَفْطِرْ ».

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to me: ‘Have I not been informed that you spend your nights in prayers and your days fasting?”’ He said: ‘I do that.’ He said: ‘if you do that, your eyes will become sunken and you will exhaust yourself. Your eyes have a right over you, yourself has a right over you and your wife has a right over you. Stand (in prayer), and sleep; fast, and break the fast.”’
