Hadith 331
وَأَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَقِيلَ : إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ : إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade continuous fasting. The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted: Do you yourself observe continuous fasting? So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My case is not like yours; indeed, I am given food and drink."
Hadith 332
وَأَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، وَعَنِ الأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ ، إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ " قَالُوا : إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ : إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Avoid continuous fasting, avoid continuous fasting." The noble Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, submitted: "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, do you yourself observe continuous fasting?" He ﷺ replied: "My condition is not like yours. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."
Hadith 333
وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : وَاصِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَاصَلُوا فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : " لَوْ أَنَّ الشَّهْرَ مُدَّ لِي لَوَاصَلْتُ وِصَالا يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ ، إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ : إِنِّي يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) practiced wisal (continuous fasting), the companions also practiced wisal. This news reached the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (it was the end of the month and the new moon was sighted), so he (ﷺ) said: "If this month had been prolonged for me (i.e., if there had been a few more days until Eid), I would have continued wisal in such a way that those who are extreme would have abandoned their extremism. (Did I not say that) I am not like you; my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."
