بَابُ تَحْذِيرِ الصَّائِمِ مِنَ اللُّغْوِ وَالرَّفَثِ وَالْغِيبَةِ وَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ مُبْطِلٌ لِثَوَابِ الصَّوْمِChapter: Warning the Fasting Person Against Idle Talk, Obscenity, and Backbiting, and That This Invalidates the Reward of Fasting
Hadith 3808
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ)) قَالَهَا ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ، قَالُوا: فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ!، قَالَ: ((إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ مِثْلِي، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي، فَكَلِّفُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said three times: Avoid continuous fasting (wisal). The companions said: O Messenger of Allah! You yourself observe continuous fasting? He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: You are not like me in this matter. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink. You should do only as much as you have the strength for.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … During the period of wisal, there are two possible meanings to the statement that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was given food and drink: (1) That foods and drinks from Paradise were presented to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and wisal was not affected by them, because their ruling is different from worldly foods. (2) What is meant is the comfort, pleasure, and coolness of the eyes that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam received due to obedience to Allah Ta'ala, and because of this, his attention was diverted from eating and drinking.
