Sahih al-Bukhari 6851

Hadith text

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

Abu Huraira bataate hain: Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne Al-Wisal (bina khaana khaaye ek se zyaada din lagataar roza rakhna) se mana kiya. Musalmaanon mein se ek shaks ne kaha, 'Magar aap to Al-Wisal karte hain, Aye Allah ke Rasool!' Allah ke Rasool (SAW) ne kaha, 'Tum mein se kaun mere jaisa hai? Main so-ta hoon aur mera Rab mujhe khilaata aur pilaata hai.' Jab logon ne Al-Wisal chhodne se inkaar kiya, Nabi (SAW) ne unke saath ek din roza rakha, aur apna roza nahi tod, balke doosre din tak apna roza jaari rakha, aur jab unhone chaand dekha, Nabi (SAW) ne kaha, 'Agar chaand nazar na aata, to main tumhein aur (ek teesre din tak) roza jaari rakhwaata,' jaise wo unhein saza dena chahte hon kyunke unhone Al-Wisal chhodne se inkaar kiya tha.
