1922. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ observed fasting for days continuously; the people also did the same but it was difficult for them. So, the Prophet ﷺ forbade them (to observe fast continuously for more than one day). They said, "But you observe fast without break (no food was taken in the evening or in the morning)." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I am not like you, for I am provided with food and drink (by Allāh)."
1922 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاصَلَ، فَوَاصَلَ النَّاسُ، فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَهَاهُمْ، قَالُوا: إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ، قَالَ: «لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ إِنِّي أَظَلُّ أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى»
