Musnad Abi Ya'la 2874 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted continuously
حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَاصَلَ فَوَاصَلَ النَّاسُ ، فَنَهَاهُمْ عَنِ الْوِصَالِ ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ وَأُسْقَى .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted continuously (without breaking the fast), and the people, following him (peace and blessings be upon him), also began to fast continuously (wisal). So he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from continuous fasting and said: "Indeed I, if Allah wills, am given food and drink (in an unseen way)."
