أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدٌ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
«لَا تُوَاصِلُوا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي» فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَوَاصَلَ بِهِمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَيْنِ وَلَيْلَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَأَوَا الْهِلَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ الْهِلَالُ لَزِدْتُكُمْ»

✧ Do not practice continuous fasting. They said: O Messenger of Allah, you practice continuous fasting. He said: I am not like you; I pass the night while my Lord feeds me and gives me drink. They did not stop from continuous fasting, so the Prophet ﷺ continued fasting with them for two days and two nights, then they saw the new moon. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If the new moon had been delayed, I would have increased you.
