Sahih al-Bukhari Book 86, Hadith 73
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade Al-Wisal (fasting continuously for more than one day without taking any
meals). A man from the Muslims said, "But you do Al-Wisal, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I
said, "Who among you is similar to me? I sleep and my Lord makes me eat and drink." When the
people refused to give up Al-Wisal, the Prophet (ﷺ) fasted along with them for one day, and did not break
his fast but continued his fast for another day, and when they saw the crescent, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If
the crescent had not appeared, I would have made you continue your fast (for a third day)," as if he
wanted to punish them for they had refused to give up Al-Wisal.
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Do not flog anyone more than ten stripes except if he is involved in a crime necessitating Allah's legal Punishment."
Those people who used to buy foodstuff at random (without weighing or measuring it) were beaten in the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) if they sold it at the very place where they had bought it, till they carried it to their dwelling places.
