It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a group of the noble Companions came; one of them said: I will not marry, another said: I will pray and will not sleep, another said: I will fast and will not break my fast. When this matter reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: What is the matter with these people who say such things? I fast and also leave fasting, I pray and I also sleep, and I also marry women. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me.
