English Translation

Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from practicing wisal in fasting (i.e. fasting continuously without breaking one’s fast in the evening or eating before the following dawn). So a man said to him, ‘But you practice wisal O Messenger of Allah!’ the Prophet ﷺ Allah (ﷺ) replied, “Which one of you is like me? I am given food and drink during my sleep by Allah." So when people refused to stop wisal, the Prophet ﷺ fasted day and night continuously along with them for a day and then another day and then they saw the crescent (of the new month of Shawwal). the Prophet ﷺ said to them, "If the crescent had not appeared, I would have made you fast for a longer period." That was a punishment for them because they refused to stop (practicing Wisal). Agreed upon.
