1705 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ صَامَ الْأَبَدَ، فَلَا صَامَ، وَلَا أَفْطَرَ»

Commentary
Violating religious limits in matters of worship is forbidden. Perpetual fasting is prohibited. 'Neither fasts nor breaks his fast' means the person neither gains any reward for fasting, nor could he relax without fasting.
