[AI] It was narrated that the Prophet ﷺ forbade prolonging the sit-in after a meal. Some people said, "You always stay seated to chat after eating." He replied, "I am not like you. I stay seated to be fed and given drink until I have finished reciting the hadith of Yahya bin Yahya."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ قَالُوا إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَحْيَى

[AI] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ continued to fast in Ramadan and prohibited them from breaking their fasts. It was said to him, "You continue to fast?" He said, "Indeed, I am not like you. I am fed and given to drink."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَاصَلَ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَنَهَاهُمْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَّ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ forbade them from being together as a mercy for them. They said, "Indeed, you do not need it." He said, "I am not like you. Indeed, my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."

نَهَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَنِ الْوِصَالِ رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ قَالُوا إِنَّكَّ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي

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. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2361)

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تُوَاصِلُوا فَأَيُّكُمْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَاصِلَ فَلْيُوَاصِلْ حَتَّى السَّحَرَ قَالُوا فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنَّ لِي مُطْعِمًا يُطْعِمُنِي وَسَاقٍ يَسْقِيَنِي

[AI] He ﷺ prohibited excessive companionship, so it was said to him: "You frequently keep companions." He ﷺ replied: "I am not like you; I am fed and given drink."

ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى
