Chapter: Prohibition of Continuous Fasting
Hadith 1741
أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ"مَرَّتَيْنِ . قَالُوا: فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ؟ قَالَ: "إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي".
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You people should avoid continuous fasting (wisal)." The people said: "But you observe wisal?" He replied: "I am not like you; during the night my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."
Hadith 1742
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَا تُوَاصِلُوا . قِيلَ: إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ: "إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدِكُمْ، إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى".
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not observe continuous fasting (wisal)." It was asked: "But you do so?" He replied: "I am not like any of you; I am given food and drink."
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."
Hadith 1744
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْوِصَالِ . فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ: فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ . قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي" . فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنْ الْوِصَالِ، وَاصَلَ بِهِمْ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ رَأَوْا الْهِلَالَ، فَقَالَ: "لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ لَزِدْتُكُمْ"، كَالْمُنَكِّلِ لَهُمْ حِينَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا.
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade continuous fasting (fasting for several days without breaking the fast at iftar or suhoor). Upon this, one of the Muslims said: O Messenger of Allah! But you observe continuous fasting? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am not like you; my Lord feeds me and gives me drink during the night." Even then, when the people did not refrain from continuous fasting, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) observed continuous fasting with them for two days, then the moon of Eid appeared. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the moon had not appeared, I would have continued fasting for more days," as if, when the companions did not refrain from continuous fasting, the Prophet said this as a punishment.
