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 with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor) for several days. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! You observe continuous fasting in this manner?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "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 the people did not refrain from this, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) observed continuous fasting with them for two days and two nights. Then the people saw the moon, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), expressing his displeasure with the people, said: "If the moon had not appeared, I would have continued the fasting even more."
