English translation

7242. Narrated Abū Hurairah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbade Al-Wiṣāl. The people said (to him), "But you observe Al-Wiṣāl." He ﷺ said, "Who among you is like me? During night, my Lord makes me eat and drink (at night)."(2) But when the people refused to give up Al-Wiṣāl, he fasted Al-Wiṣāl along with them for two days and then they saw the crescent whereupon the Prophet ﷺ said, "If the crescent had not appeared I would have fasted for a longer period," as if he intended to punish them herewith.

Arabic text

7242 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَقَالَ اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ المُسَيِّبِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الوِصَالِ»، قَالُوا: فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ، قَالَ: «أَيُّكُمْ مِثْلِي، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِ»، فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا، وَاصَلَ بِهِمْ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ رَأَوُا الهِلَالَ فَقَالَ: «لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ لَزِدْتُكُمْ كَالْمُنَكِّلِ لَهُمْ»
