In this ayah "So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.." (Sura Maryam 19,26) I am reminded of the contemporary custom among othodox Jews of "taanit dibbur" (a fast of not talking, only prayer, for a set period). Although the source of this custom is unknown, the Mishnah Berurah writes that he was aware of the custom. Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 571:1. I do not know if this custom is followed by any Muslims today.
