I said: The ḥadīth clearly indicates the prohibition of fasting continuously without breaking, and this is the view of Ibn Ḥazm in "al-Muḥallá" (7/12-16), who also supported it with the saying of the Prophet (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam): "Whoever fasts continuously; neither has he fasted nor broken his fast." Many scholars have exerted effort to reject their indication by interpreting them, especially the first one; Ibn Ḥibbān interpreted it as referring to someone who fasts continuously including the days of Eid and Tashrīq! Worse than that is the interpretation that says: "Hell is narrowed for him so that he does not enter it!" This was narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah and others from al-Muzanī! Ibn Ḥazm rightly refuted it by saying: "This is a mistake and a lie. As for the mistake; if he intended this, he would have said: 'narrowed for him,' and not 'upon him.' As for the lie; all its narrators reported it with emphasis and prohibition against fasting it." See what I commented on al-Muzanī's statement in "Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Khuzaymah" (3/314). *
قلت: والحديث ظاهر الدلالة في تحريم صوم الدهر، وبه قال ابن حزم في "المحلى" (٧/١٢- ١٦) ، واستدل على ذلك أيضاً بقوله ﷺ: "من صام الدهر؛ فلا صام ولا أفطر". ولقد تكلف كثير من العلماء في رد دلالتهما بتأويلهما، وبخاصة الأول منهما؛ فقد حمله ابن حبان على من صام الدهر الذي فيه أيام العيد والتشريق! وأسوأ منه من تأوَّله بقوله:"ضُيِّقُت عنه جهنم حتى لا يدخلها"! حكاه ابن خزيمة وغيره عن المزني! ولقد أحسن ابن حزم في ردْه بقوله:"وهذه لكنة وكذب. أما اللكنة؛ فإنه لو أراد هذا؛ لقال: "ضيقت عنه "، ولم يقل: "عليه ". وأما الكذب؛ فإنما أورده رواته كلهم على التشديد والنهي عن صومه ". وانظر ما كنت علقته على كلمة المزني في "صحيح ابن خزيمة" (٣/٣١٤) . *

It was narrated by Abū Dāwūd (1/388- Jihād), al-Ḥākim (4/486-487), ʿAbd al-Razzāq (11/376/20790), Aḥmad (2/84, 198-199, 209), Abū Nuʿaym in "al-Ḥilyah" (6/54, 66), and Ibn ʿAsākir in "Tārīkh Dimashq" (1/149, 150- Damascus edition) through the route of Shahr ibn Ḥawshab from ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ, attributed [to the Prophet]... and it includes a story
