That he had heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "Do not fast continuously (practice Al-Wisal), and if you intend to lengthen your fast, then carry it on only till the Suhur (before the following dawn)." The people said to him, "But you practice (Al-Wisal), O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!" He replied, "I am not similar to you, for during my sleep I have One Who makes me eat and drink."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ تُوَاصِلُوا فَأَيُّكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَاصِلَ فَلْيُوَاصِلْ حَتَّى السَّحَرِ قَالُوا فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ لِي مُطْعِمٌ يُطْعِمُنِي وَسَاقٍ يَسْقِينِ

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.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-Araj from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Beware of wisal. Beware of wisal." They said, "But you practise wisal, Messenger of Allah." He replied, "I am not the same as you. My Lord feeds me and gives me to drink."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ قَالُوا فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِي

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade excessive proximity, and said, "Whoever does not have a need for proximity, let him maintain distance from sorcery to sorcery." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, you practice proximity." He replied, "I am not like you. I have a sustainer who feeds me and a leg that quenches my thirst."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَقَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بُدٌّ مِنَ الْوِصَالِ فَلْيُوَاصِلْ مِنَ السَّحَرِ إِلَىالسَّحَرِ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ لي مُطْعِمٌ يُطْعِمُنِي وَسَاقٍ يَسْقِينِي

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ, it is narrated that he forbade excessive socialization. It was said to him, "But you maintain frequent communication with people." He replied, "You are not like me. I have a sustainer who feeds me and gives me drink. So, whoever amongst you continues to maintain constant communication, it is from one magic spell to another."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ «لَسْتُمْ كَهَيْئَتِي إِنِّي أَبِيتُ لِيَ مُطْعِمٌ يُطْعِمُنِي وَسَاقٍ يَسْقِيَنِي فَأَيُّكُمْ وَاصَلَ فَمِنْ سَحَرٍ إِلَى سَحَرٍ»
