It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said three times: "Refrain from continuous fasting (Saum Wisal)." The people said, "But you also observe continuous fasting?" He replied, "I am not like you. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord feeds me and gives me drink. Undertake only those deeds for which you have the strength."

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the meaning of the verse of the Holy Qur'an { ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا الصِّیَامَ إلَی اللَّیْلِ } is that continuous fasting (without breaking the fast) is disliked.
