7241. Narrated Anas: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: The Prophet ﷺ observed Al-Wiṣāl(1) fasting on the last days of the month. Some people did the same, and when the news reached the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "If the month had been prolonged for me, then I would have observed Al-Wiṣāl for such a long time that the most exaggerating ones among you would have given up their exaggeration. I am not like you; my Lord (Allāh) makes me eat and drink (at night)." (See H. 1964, 1965)
