According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Prophet (saw) (saw) said, “The reciting of the Zabur (Psalms) was made easy for David. He used to order that his riding animals be saddled, and while they were being saddled he would be able to finish reciting the Zabur before they were saddled. And he would never eat except from the earnings of his manual work.” (al-Bukhari, al-Anbiyaʾ, 37)

According to ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAmr b. al-ʿAs (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “With Allah the best fasting is that of David. He would fast half of the year. And the best prayer is that of David for he slept half of the night and then he stood for prayer and (then) slept for the reminder of it…” (Muslim, al-Siyam, 190)

According to ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAmr (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “After Solomon, son of David, finished building Bayt al-Maqdis, he asked Allah for three things: (First) Judgement that was in harmony with His Judgement, and he was given that. (Second) he asked Allah for a dominion that no one after him would have, and he was given that. And (third), when he finished building the Masjid, he asked that ‘no one should come to it, intending only to pray there, but he would emerge free of sin as the day his mother bore him.’” (al-Nasaʾi, al-Masajid, 6)

According to Abu al-Dardaʾ (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “It used to be from the supplication of David that he would say, ‘O Allah, indeed, I ask You for Your love and the love of those who love You, and for the action that will cause me to attain Your love, O Allah, make Your love more beloved to me than myself, my family and cold water.’” (al-Tirmidhi, al-Daʿawat, 72)
