Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not observe continuous fasting (wisal), and if anyone among you insists on doing so, then let him observe wisal only until the time of suhoor (pre-dawn meal). The companions said: O Messenger of Allah, you yourself observe wisal? He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: I am not like you; I spend the night in such a state that there is One who feeds me and One who gives me drink.
