Musnad Abi Ya'la 3501 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted continuously
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاصَلَ آخِرَ الشَّهْرِ وَوَاصَلَ نَاسٌ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ مُدَّ لَنَا الشَّهْرُ لَوَاصَلْتُ وِصَالًا ، يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ ، إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِثْلِي ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted continuously (that is, observed wisal) in the last days of the month, and some other people (following him) also began to fast continuously. When this reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If this month had been extended for us, I would have fasted continuously so long that these extremists would abandon their excess. Indeed, you are not like me; I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."
