أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَائِذٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ، سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ صَامَ الأَبَدَ فَلاَ صَامَ وَلاَ أَفْطَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏
