(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ
مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ
أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنِ
الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ " كَذَاكَ عِلْمِي ، قَالُوا : إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدِكُمْ ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي ، رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Protect yourselves from fasting continuously for several days with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor)." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this twice. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted: "O Messenger of Allah! You yourself fast continuously in this manner?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "In this matter, I am not like you. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord Himself feeds and gives me drink."
