It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not observe continuous fasting for several days with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor). The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! You observe fasts continuously in this manner?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am not like you in this matter. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord Himself feeds and gives me drink. But still, they did not refrain, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) observed continuous fasting for two days, then the moon was sighted. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the moon had not been sighted, I would have continued in this manner for several more days, as if the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) expressed disapproval of this practice.
