Hadith #1013
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ : نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْوِصَالِ. فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ : فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَل
َّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنِّيلَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي ". فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنْ الْوِصَالِ، وَاصَلَ بِهِمْ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ رَأَوْا الْهِلَالَ، فَقَالَ : " لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ لَزِدْتُكُمْ "، كَالْمُنَكِّلِ لَهُمْ حِينَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade al-wisal (continuous fasting). Some men from the Muslims said: 'But you yourself practice wisal.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'I am not like any of you; I spend the night while my Lord feeds me and gives me drink.' When they refused to stop practicing wisal, he led them in wisal for one day, then another day. Then they saw the crescent and he said: 'Had it been delayed, I would have increased you,' as if reprimanding them for their refusal to stop.
