It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qalabah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade continuous fasting (Saum Wisal). The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah! You also observe continuous fasting?" He replied, "I am not like you. When I spend the night, my Lord feeds me and gives me drink. If you must observe continuous fasting, then do so from one pre-dawn meal (suhoor) to the next."
