Assalamu 'alaykum.

Okay this might be a silly question, but a while ago someone posted a thread about forgiveness and this "narration" was in it:

"Ibn Abi’d-Dunya mentioned that Dawud (peace be upon Him) asked Allah: “What is the least of Your blessings?” Allah revealed to him: “O Dawud, take a breath.” Dawud did so, and Allah told him: “This is the least of My blessings on you.” (Source: Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah).

It's a beautiful narration, alhamdulillah. My question is, how do we know Dawud (AS) said this? I mean, it's not a hadith..
