English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Yazid [ibn Harun], from Muhammad [ibn Ishaq], from Musa ibn Yasar — and also via Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Beware of wisal [continuous fasting without breaking at night].' They said: 'But you practice wisal, O Messenger of Allah!' He said: 'I am not like you in that — I remain fed and watered by my Lord. So take on only as much deeds as you have the capacity for.'
