English Translation

It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via 'Abd al-Rahman, from Malik, from Abu al-Zinad, from al-A'raj — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Beware of al-wisal [continuous fasting without breaking]! Such is my knowledge [of its hardship].' They said: 'But you yourself practice wisal.' He said: 'I am not like any of you — I spend the night with my Lord feeding me and giving me drink.'
