Sayyiduna Sulayman bin Amir Ad-Dabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Giving charity to a poor person is one charity, while giving charity to a close relative is two charities: one charity and the other maintaining the ties of kinship." And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you breaks his fast, he should break it with dates, for they are blessed. If he does not find dates, then he should break his fast with water, for it is very pure." And the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Slaughter a goat as 'Aqiqah for the child, and remove the filth from him, and shed blood (of the goat) on his behalf (i.e., slaughter it)." This narration is from Abdul Jabbar. In the narrations of the other two teachers, it is mentioned that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When any one of you breaks his fast, he should break it with dates. If he does not find dates, then he should break his fast with water, for it is pure." Both teachers did not mention the story of giving charity and performing 'Aqiqah.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Refrain from wisal (fasting continuously day and night without breaking the fast)." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah, do you also observe wisal?" He (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, I am not like you. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Refrain from continuous fasting (sawm wisal)." The Companions said, "O Messenger of Allah, you also observe continuous fasting." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, I spend the night in such a state that food and drink are provided for me."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) observed continuous fasting (wisal) during the days of Ramadan, so some Muslims also began to observe wisal. When this news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "If this month were to be extended for us, I would observe such severe wisal that those who go to extremes and are harsh in the religion would desist from their extremism. I am not like you. When I observe wisal, my Lord feeds me and gives me drink."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Refrain from wisal (continuous fasting without breaking the fast at sunset)." He said this three times. The Companions asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), you also observe wisal?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "You are not like me in this matter. Indeed, I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink. So, bear only as much (deeds) as you have the strength for."

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to observe continuous fasting (wisal) until the time of suhoor. So some of his companions also observed wisal, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade them from doing so. One of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, you also do this." The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "You are not like me. I am with my Lord in such a way that He feeds me and gives me drink."
