Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do not fast continuously day and night (practice Al-Wisal) and if anyone of you
intends to fast continuously day and night, he should continue till the Suhur time." They said, "But
you practice Al-Wisal, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I am not similar to you;. during my
sleep I have One Who makes me eat and drink."

The Prophet (ﷺ) made a bond of brotherhood between Salman and Abu Ad-Darda.' Salman paid a visit to
Abu Ad-Darda' and found Um Ad-Darda' dressed in shabby clothes and asked her why she was in that
state. She replied, "Your brother Abu Ad-Darda' is not interested in (the luxuries of) this world." In
the meantime Abu Ad-Darda' came and prepared a meal for Salman. Salman requested Abu Ad-
Darda' to eat (with him), but Abu Ad-Darda' said, "I am fasting." Salman said, "I am not going to eat
unless you eat." So, Abu Ad-Darda' ate (with Salman). When it was night and (a part of the night
passed), Abu Ad-Darda' got up (to offer the night prayer), but Salman told him to sleep and Abu Ad-
Darda' slept. After sometime Abu Ad-Darda' again got up but Salman told him to sleep. When it was
the last hours of the night, Salman told him to get up then, and both of them offered the prayer.
Salman told Abu Ad-Darda', "Your Lord has a right on you, your soul has a right on you, and your
family has a right on you; so you should give the rights of all those who has a right on you." Abu Ad-
Darda' came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and narrated the whole story. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Salman has spoken the
truth."
