Hadith 2069
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ يَعْنِي مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ , عَنْ قَتَادَةَ , عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ " . قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ . قَالَ : " إِنِّي أَبِيتُ أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى "
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Refrain from continuous fasting (sawm wisal)." The Companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, you also observe continuous fasting." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I spend the night in such a state that food and drink are provided for me."
