Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No man should ever say that he stood (in prayer) for the entire Ramadan or that he fasted the entire Ramadan. The narrator says: I could not understand whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) meant that a person should not declare his own purity, or if there was some other intention, therefore it is necessary that some heedlessness be adopted, or that one should sleep.
