It was narrated from Ibn Umar [may Allah be pleased with them] that the Prophet (SAW) forbade Al-Wisal. They said: “You perform Wisal.” He said: “I am not like you; I am fed up and given to drink.”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ - رضى الله عنهما - أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- نَهَى عَنِ الْوِصَالِ قَالُوا إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ. قَالَ « إِنِّى لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّى أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى ».

Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allah forbade Al-Wisal. A man among the Muslims said: ‘But you practice Wisal, O Messenger of Allah.’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Who among you is like me? During the night my Lord feeds me and gives me to drink.’When they refused to stop practicing Wisal, he fasted continuously with them day after day, then they saw the crescent. He said: ‘If the crescent had been delayed, I would have made you fast more,’ as if he wanted to teach them a lesson when they refused to stop.”

حَدَّثَنِى حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنِى أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنِ الْوِصَالِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُوَاصِلُ. قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « وَأَيُّكُمْ مِثْلِى إِنِّى أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِى رَبِّى وَيَسْقِينِى ». فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا عَنِ الْوِصَالِ وَاصَلَ بِهِمْ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ يَوْمًا ثُمَّ رَأَوُا الْهِلاَلَ فَقَالَ « لَوْ تَأَخَّرَ الْهِلاَلُ لَزِدْتُكُمْ ». كَالْمُنَكِّلِ لَهُمْ حِينَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَنْتَهُوا.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Do not perform Wisal.’ They said: ‘But you perform Wisal, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘You are not like me in that. During the night, my Lord feeds me and gives me to drink. Take upon yourselves only those deeds that you are capable of.’”

وَحَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِى زُرْعَةَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْوِصَالَ ». قَالُوا فَإِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ « إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ فِى ذَلِكَ مِثْلِى إِنِّى أَبِيتُ يُطْعِمُنِى رَبِّى وَيَسْقِينِى فَاكْلَفُوا مِنَ الأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ ».

It was narrated that Anas [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allah was praying in Ramadan, and I came and stood beside him, and another man came and stood too, until there was a group of us. When the Prophet realized that I was behind him, he made his prayer brief. Then he went to his abode and offered a prayer such as he did not pray with us. The next morning we said to him: ‘Did you notice us last night?’ He said: ‘Yes. That is what made me do what I did.’The Messenger of Allah started to perform Wisal at the end of the month, and some of his companions began performing Wisal. The Prophet (SAW) said: ‘What is the matter with the men who perform Wisal? You are not like me. By Allah, if the month were to be lengthened for me, I would fast continuously, and those who go to extremes would give up their extreme ways.’”

حَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُصَلِّى فِى رَمَضَانَ فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ وَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَامَ أَيْضًا حَتَّى كُنَّا رَهْطًا فَلَمَّا حَسَّ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَنَّا خَلْفَهُ جَعَلَ يَتَجَوَّزُ فِى الصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَحْلَهُ فَصَلَّى صَلاَةً لاَ يُصَلِّيهَا عِنْدَنَا. قَالَ قُلْنَا لَهُ حِينَ أَصْبَحْنَا أَفَطِنْتَ لَنَا اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ « نَعَمْ ذَاكَ الَّذِى حَمَلَنِى عَلَى الَّذِى صَنَعْتُ ». قَالَ فَأَخَذَ يُوَاصِلُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَذَاكَ فِى آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ فَأَخَذَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يُوَاصِلُونَ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَا بَالُ رِجَالٍ يُواصِلُونَ إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِثْلِى أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَوْ تَمَادَّ لِىَ الشَّهْرُ لَوَاصَلْتُ وِصَالاً يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ ».

It was narrated that Aishah [may Allah be pleased with her] said: “The Messenger of Allah would kiss one of his wives while he was fasting.” Then she smiled.

حَدَّثَنِى عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُقَبِّلُ إِحْدَى نِسَائِهِ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ. ثُمَّ تَضْحَكُ.

It was narrated that Aishah [may Allah be pleased with her ] said: “The Messenger of Allah used to kiss me while he was fasting, but who among you can control his desire as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to control his desire?”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُقَبِّلُنِى وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ وَأَيُّكُمْ يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَمْلِكُ إِرْبَهُ.

It was narrated from ‘Amar bin Abi Salamah that he asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW): “May the fasting person kiss (his wife)? “ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Ask this one” – meaning Umm Salamah – and she told him that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) did that. He said: “ O Messenger of Allah, Allah has forgiven your past and future sins.” The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to him: “By Allah, I am the one who is the most pious and fears Allah the most among you.”

حَدَّثَنِى هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَمْرٌو - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ - عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ الْحِمْيَرِىِّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِى سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- أَيُقَبِّلُ الصَّائِمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « سَلْ هَذِهِ ». لأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَصْنَعُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ. فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّى لأَتْقَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ وَأَخْشَاكُمْ لَهُ ».

It was narrated that Abu Bakar said: “I heard Abu Hurairah [may Allah be pleased with them] speaking, and one of the things he said was: ‘If dawn comes when a person is junub, he should not fast.’ I mentioned that to ‘Abdur-Rehman bin Al-Harith – to his father – and he denied that. ‘Abdur Rehman set off, and I set off with him, and we entered upon ‘Aishah and Umm Salamah, May Allah be pleased with them both. ‘Abdur Rehman asked them about that and they both said: ‘The Prophet would be junub in the morning, not as a result of a wet dream, and then he would fast.’ We went and entered upon Marwan, and ‘Abdur Rehman mentioned that to him. Marwan said: ‘I urge you to go to Abu Hurairah and prove to him that he was wrong.’ We went to Abu Hurairah, and Abu Bakar was present throughout all that. ‘Abdur Rehman told him that and Abu Hurairah said: ‘Did they tell you that?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘They know better.’”“Then Abu Hurairah attributed what he used to say concerning that to Al-Fadi bin ‘Abba, and Abu Hurairah said: ‘That is from Al-Fadl; I did not hear it from the Prophet (SAW).’ So Abu Hurairah retracted what he used to say on this issue.”I said to Abdul-Malik: ‘Did they say that with regard to Ramadan? “He said: “Yes, he used to wakeup Junub without that being the result of wet dream, then he would fast.”

حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ بْنُ هَمَّامٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَبِى بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِى بَكْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - يَقُصُّ يَقُولُ فِى قَصَصِهِ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ الْفَجْرُ جُنُبًا فَلاَ يَصُمْ. فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ - لأَبِيهِ - فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ. فَانْطَلَقَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ - رضى الله عنهما - فَسَأَلَهُمَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ ذَلِكَ - قَالَ - فَكِلْتَاهُمَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ حُلُمٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ - قَالَ - فَانْطَلَقْنَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ. فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ إِلاَّ مَا ذَهَبْتَ إِلَى أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَدَدْتَ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَقُولُ - قَالَ - فَجِئْنَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ حَاضِرُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ - قَالَ - فَذَكَرَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَهُمَا قَالَتَاهُ لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ هُمَا أَعْلَمُ. ثُمَّ رَدَّ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ مَا كَانَ يَقُولُ فِى ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. قَالَ فَرَجَعَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَمَّا كَانَ يَقُولُ فِى ذَلِكَ. قُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَقَالَتَا فِى رَمَضَانَ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ يُصْبِحُ جُنُبًا مِنْ غَيْرِ حُلُمٍ ثُمَّ يَصُومُ.

It was narrated from Urwah bin Az-Zubair and Abu bakar bin ‘Abdur-Rehman that ‘Aishah, the wife of the Prophet said: “Dawn would come in Ramadan and the Messenger of Allah (SAW) would be junub, not as a result of a wet dream, and he would perform Ghusal and fast.”

وَحَدَّثَنِى حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ وَأَبِى بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَتْ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يُدْرِكُهُ الْفَجْرُ فِى رَمَضَانَ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ حُلُمٍ فَيَغْتَسِلُ وَيَصُومُ.

Abu Bakar narrated that Marwan sent him to Umm Salamah [may Allah be pleased with her] to ask about the man who wakes up junub- may he fast? She said: “The Messenger of Allah used to wakeup junub following intercourse, not (as the result of) a wet dream, and he did not avoid the fast nor makeup that day later on.”
