باب النَّهْيِ عَنِ الْوِصَالِ في الصَّوْمِ:Chapter: Prohibition of Continuous Fasting
Hadith 1743
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: "لَا تُوَاصِلُوا، فَأَيُّكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُوَاصِلَ، فَلْيُوَاصِلْ إِلَى السَّحَرِ". قَالُوا: إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ: "إِنِّي أَبِيتُ لِي مُطْعِمٌ يُطْعِمُنِي، وَيَسْقِينِي".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Do not observe continuous fasting without breaking the fast or taking suhoor. However, if someone insists on doing so, he may observe continuous fasting until the time of suhoor." The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "But you observe continuous fasting." He replied: "I spend the night in such a state that One who feeds and gives me drink provides for me."
