كتاب الصيامBook: On the Explanation of Fasting
بَابُ النَّهْيِ عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فِي الصِّيَامِChapter on Prohibition of Continuous Fasting (Wisal)
Hadith 615
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ ، فَقَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ ، إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade continuous fasting (i.e., fasting day after day without breaking the fast in between). The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You do it? He replied: "I am not like you; I am given food and drink."
