Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not observe continuous fasting (wisal), do not observe continuous fasting (wisal). The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! But you also observe continuous fasting. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am not like you in this matter. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord gives me food and drink. You should only take upon yourselves as much as you have the strength to do.
