question #3 Sahih al-Bukhari 7299, Book 96, Hadith 30 : What lesson can be learned from the Prophet’s (ﷺ) response to his companions’ persistence in fasting Al-Wisal?

The Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) fasted Al-Wisal with them for two days or two nights, and then
they saw the crescent whereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) 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).
