6851. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbade Al-Wišāl (observing fasting continuously for more than one day without taking any meals). A man from the Muslims said, "But you do Al-Wišāl, O Allāh's Messenger!" Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Who among you is similar to me? I sleep and my Lord (Allāh) makes me eat and drink.” When the people refused to give up Al-Wišāl, the Prophet ﷺ observed fasting along with them for one day, and did not break his fast but continued his fast for another day, and when they saw the crescent, the Prophet ﷺ said, “If the crescent had not appeared, I would have made you continue your fast (for a third day),” as if he wanted to punish them for they had refused to give up Al-Wišāl.

6851 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الوِصَالِ» فَقَالَ لَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ: فَإِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُوَاصِلُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّكُمْ مِثْلِي، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِ» فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنِ الوِصَالِ وَاصَلَ بِهِمْ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ رَأَوُا الْهِلَالَ، فَقَالَ: «لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ لَزِدْتُكُمْ» كَالْمُنَكِّلِ بِهِمْ حِينَ أَبَوْا تَابَعَهُ شُعَيْبٌ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
