30/48. Chapter:
To observe Saum (fast) continuously
لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّيَامَ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ} وَنَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهُ رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ وَإِبْقَاءً عَلَيْهِمْ، وَمَا يُكْرَهُ مِنَ التَّعَمُّقِ.And whoever says that there is no Saum (fast) at night according to the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “Then complete your fast till the nightfall...” (V.2:187). And the Prophet ﷺ forbade it (i.e., Al-Wisal) with mercy to them (Muslims) and to keep them healthy. And what is hated as regards excessive practices of worshipping.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ تُوَاصِلُوا ". قَالُوا إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ. قَالَ " لَسْتُ كَأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ، إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى، أَوْ إِنِّي أَبِيتُ أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى ".
Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Do not practice Al-Wisal (fasting continuously without breaking one's fast in the evening or eating before the following dawn)." The people said to the Prophet, "But you practice Al- Wisal?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I am not like any of you, for I am given food and drink (by Allah) during the night."
