Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade (his Companions) from observing fast unintermptedly. One of the Muslims said: Messenger of Allah, you yourself observe Saum Wisal. Whereupon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Who among you is like me? I spend night (in a state) that my Allah feeds me and provides me drink. When they (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) did not agree in abandoning the uninterrupted fast, then the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also observed this fast with them for a day, and then for a day. They then saw the new moon and he (the Holy Prophet) said: If the appearance of the new moon were delayed, I would have observed more (fasts) with you (and he did it) by way of warning to them as they had not agreed to refrain (from observing Saum Wisal)

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Abstain from Saum-Wisal. They (his Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, but you observe Saum Wisal. Upon this he said: You are not like me in this matter, for I spend my night (in a state) that my Lord feeds me and provides me drink Devote yourselves to the deeds (the burden of which) you can bear.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying (the words as said in the previous hadith) but with this alteration (of words): "Take upon yourselves (the burden of the deeds) for which you have the strength to bear."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) forbade (his Companions) to observe Saum Wisal.
