Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said (to his companions), Do not fast Al-Wisal. They said, But you fast Al-Wisail. He said, I am not like you, for at night my Lord feeds me and makes me drink. But the people did not give up Al-Wisal, so the Prophet fasted Al-Wisal with them for two days or two nights, and then they saw the crescent whereupon the Prophet said, If the crescent had delayed, I would have continued fasting (because of you), as if he wanted to vanquish them completely (because they had refused to give up Al Wisal).
