Abu Huraira (Allaah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade (his Companions) from observing fast unintermptedly. One of the Muslims said: Messenger of Allaah, you yourself observe Saum Wisal. whereupon the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Who among you is like me? I spend night (in a state) that my Allaah feeds me and provides me drink. When they (the Companions of the Prophet) did not agree in abandoning the uninterrupted fast, then the Prophet (may peace. be upon him) also observed this fast with them for a day, and then for a day. They then saw the new moon and he (the Prophet) said: If the appearance of the new moon were delayed. I would have observed more (fasts) with you (and he did it) by way of warning to them as they had not agreed to refrain (from observing Saum Wisal) |
