حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ بَکْرَ بْنَ مُضَرَ حَدَّثَهُمْ عَنْ ابْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا تُوَاصِلُوا فَأَيُّکُمْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوَاصِلَ فَلْيُوَاصِلْ حَتَّی السَّحَرَ قَالُوا فَإِنَّکَ تُوَاصِلُ قَالَ إِنِّي لَسْتُ کَهَيْئَتِکُمْ إِنَّ لِي مُطْعِمًا يُطْعِمُنِي وَسَاقِيًا يَسْقِينِي
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2361
Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Do not observe perpetual fasting. If any of you wants to observe perpetual fast, he should observe it until the dawn. They (the people) asked: You observe perpetual fast ? He replied: My position is not like that of yours. There is One Who gives me to eat, and there is One who gives me to drink.
