Sahih al-Bukhari 1965 (Book 30, Hadith 72) #1885
The Forbidden Practice of Al-Wisal

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) forbade Al-Wisal in fasting, but when the people refused to stop practicing it, he fasted day and night continuously for two days as a punishment.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger forbade Al-Wisal in fasting. So, one of the Muslims said to him, "But you practice Al- Wisal. O Allah's Messenger !" The Prophet replied, "Who amongst you is similar to me? I am given food and drink during my sleep by my Lord". So, when the people refused to stop Al-Wisal (fasting continuously), the Prophet fasted day and night continuously along with them for a day and then another day and then they saw the crescent moon (of the month of Shawwal). The Prophet said to them (angrily), "If It (the crescent) had not appeared, I would have made you fast for a longer period". That was as a punishment for them when they refused to stop (practicing Al-Wisal).
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فِي الصَّوْمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَأَيُّكُمْ مِثْلِي إِنِّي أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِي رَبِّي وَيَسْقِينِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنِ الْوِصَالِ وَاصَلَ بِهِمْ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ رَأَوُا الْهِلاَلَ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ لَزِدْتُكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ كَالتَّنْكِيلِ لَهُمْ، حِينَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the practice of continuous fasting known as Al-Wisal. It was narrated by Abu Huraira that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade this practice and warned against it. However, some Muslims still practiced it despite the warning. As a result, the Prophet (ﷺ) fasted day and night continuously for two days as a punishment for them when they refused to stop practicing Al-Wisal. This hadith teaches us that we should always obey Allah's commands and not disobey them even if others are doing so. We should also be mindful of our actions because there may be consequences if we do not follow what is right according to Islam.
