ما قالوا في الوصال في الصيام من نهى عنه
Continuous fasting without breaking: those who forbade it
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9842 — Continuous fasting without breaking
٩٨٤٢ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن أبي صالح عن أبي هريرة قال: واصل النبي ﷺ فبلغ ذلك الناس فواصلوا فبلغ ذلك النبي ﷺ فنهاهم فقال: "إني لست مثلكم إني أظل عند ربي (فيطعمني) (١) ويسقيني" (٢).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once kept a continuous fast (sawm al-wisal). When the people came to know of this, they too began keeping a continuous fast. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed, he forbade the people from doing so and said: "I am not like you; my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."
