Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 3817 — Second Section: The Prophet’s Continuous
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي مُوسَى، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَقَالَتْ: لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ وَاصَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ، فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَلَمَّا رَأَوُا الْهِلَالَ أَخْبَرُوا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: ((لَوْ زَادَ لَزِدْتُ))، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ أَوْ شَيْئًا نَحْوَهُ، قَالَ: ((إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي))
Abdullah bin Abi Musa says: I asked Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) about wisal (continuous fasting). She said: During the days of Uhud, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the companions practiced wisal, but it became difficult for them. When the new moon was sighted, the companions mentioned this matter to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the month had been longer, I would have prolonged the wisal as well. Someone asked: Do you yourself practice wisal, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am not like you; I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink.
