Hadith 3816

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاصَلَ فِي رَمَضَانَ، فَوَاصَلَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَأُخْبِرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَوْ مُدَّ لِيَ الشَّهْرُ، لَوَاصَلْتُ وِصَالًا يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ، إِنِّي أَظَلُّ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) observed continuous fasting (wisal) in the month of Ramadan, so the Companions also began to do so. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this, he said: "If the month had been longer, I would have continued the wisal even longer, so that those who go to extremes and are strict would desist from their extremism and strictness. My condition is such that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."
