Sahih Muslim Book - 13, Hadith - 2571

حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ التَّيْمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ - حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ وَاصَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى أَوَّلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَوَاصَلَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَبَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ « لَوْ مُدَّ لَنَا الشَّهْرُ لَوَاصَلْنَا وِصَالاً يَدَعُ الْمُتَعَمِّقُونَ تَعَمُّقَهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ مِثْلِى - أَوْ قَالَ - إِنِّى لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ إِنِّى أَظَلُّ يُطْعِمُنِى رَبِّى وَيَسْقِينِى ».

It was narrated that Anas [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) performed Wisal during the beginning of Ramadan, and some of the Muslims performed Wisal. News of that reached him and he said: ‘If the month is lengthened for us, we will fast continuously, so that those who go to extremes will give up their extreme ways. You are not like me’ - or I am not like you’ - ‘I am continually fed and given to drink by my Lord.’”
