Narrated Abu Huraira:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade Al-Wisal (fasting continuously for more than one day without taking any meals). A man from the Muslims said, "But you do Al-Wisal, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Who among you is similar to me? I sleep and my Lord makes me eat and drink." When the people refused to give up Al-Wisal, the Prophet (ﷺ) fasted 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-Wisal

حدثنا يحيى بن بكير، حدثنا الليث، عن عقيل، عن ابن شهاب، حدثنا ابو سلمة، ان ابا هريرة رضى الله عنه قال نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الوصال فقال له رجال من المسلمين فانك يا رسول الله تواصل. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " ايكم مثلي اني ابيت يطعمني ربي ويسقين ". فلما ابوا ان ينتهوا عن الوصال واصل بهم يوما ثم يوما ثم راوا الهلال فقال " لو تاخر لزدتكم ". كالمنكل بهم حين ابوا. تابعه شعيب ويحيى بن سعيد ويونس عن الزهري. وقال عبد الرحمن بن خالد عن ابن شهاب عن سعيد عن ابي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
