عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي فِي رَمَضَانَ، فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ خَلْفَهُ، قَالَ وَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَامَ إِلَى جَنْبِي، ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ حَتَّى كُنَّا رَهْطًا، فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّا خَلْفَهُ تَجَوَّزَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ فَصَلَّى صَلَاةً لَمْ يُصَلِّهَا عِنْدَنَا، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا، قُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَفَطِنْتَ بِنَا اللَّيْلَةَ؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ، فَذَاكَ الَّذِي حَمَلَنِي عَلَى الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ))، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يُوَاصِلُ وَذَاكَ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ، قَالَ فَأَخَذَ رِجَالٌ يُوَاصِلُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يُوَاصِلُونَ، إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِثْلِي، أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مُدَّ لِيَ الشَّهْرُ وَأَصَلْتُ وِصَالًا يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he states: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying in Ramadan, so I came and stood behind him. Another man came and stood by my side, then another man came, until we became a congregation. But when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sensed that we were behind him, he prayed a shortened prayer. Then he stood up and went home and prayed (a long) prayer there, which he had not prayed with us. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When morning came, we said: O Messenger of Allah! Did you know about us during the night? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, and that is what prompted me to do so. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to observe continuous fasting (wisal), and this was in the last days of the month. Some of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) also began to observe continuous fasting following him. (When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, learned of this) he said: What is the matter with these people that they are also observing continuous fasting? (Remember that) you are not like me. Beware! By Allah, if this month had been prolonged for me, I would have continued wisal, so that those who go to extremes in religion would desist from their extremism.
