It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade people from observing continuous fasting with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor) during the month of Ramadan. So they said, "You are forbidding us from observing continuous fasting for several days, but you yourself do it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "I am not like you; I am given food and drink by Allah."
