Ibn 'Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) observed fasts uninterruptedly in Ramadan and the people (in his wake) did this. But he forbade them to do so. It was said to him (to the Holy Prophet): You yourself observe the fasts uninterruptedly (but you forbid us to do so). Upon this he said: I am not like you; I am fed and supplied drink (by Allah).
