حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، وَعَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى (٢) ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَا تُوَاصِلُوا " قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ: " إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ، إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي ". قَالَ: فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنِ الْوِصَالِ، فَوَاصَلَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَيْلَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَأَوْا الْهِلَالَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ الْهِلَالُ لَزِدْتُكُمْ "، كَالْمُنَكِّلِ بِهِمْ (٣)، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: Do not observe continuous fasting with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor) for several days. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! You observe continuous fasting in this manner?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) replied: "I am not like you in this matter. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord Himself feeds and gives me drink." But the people did not refrain from this, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) observed continuous fasting with them for two days and two nights. Then the people saw the moon, so the Noble Prophet (ﷺ), expressing his displeasure with the people, said: "If the moon had not appeared, I would have continued the fasting even more."
