باب فِي الْوِصَالِ

English narration

Narrated by أبو سعيد الخدري

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Do not observe perpetual fasting. If any of you wants to observe perpetual fast, he should observe it until the dawn. They (the people) asked: You observe perpetual fast ? He replied: My position is not like that of yours. There is One Who gives me to eat, and there is One who gives me to drink.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّ بَكْرَ بْنَ مُضَرَ حَدَّثَهُمْ ، عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : "

لَا تُوَاصِلُوا ، فَأَيُّكُمْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَاصِلَ فَلْيُوَاصِلْ حَتَّى السَّحَرَ

" ، قَالُوا : فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ ، إِنَّ لِي مُطْعِمًا يُطْعِمُنِي وَسَاقِيًا يَسْقِينِي " .
