Hadith 10433

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، قََالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قََالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " نَهَى عَنْ الْوِصَالِ " ، قَالُوا إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَيْسَ مِثْلَكُمْ ، إِنِّي أَظَلُّ عِنْدَ رَبِّي ، يُطْعِمُنِي وَيَسْقِينِي ، اكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ " .
It is narrated from the previous chain that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Protect yourselves from fasting continuously with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor)." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), you fast continuously in this manner." The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "You are not like me in this matter. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord Himself feeds and gives me drink. Therefore, take upon yourselves only as much as you have the strength to bear."
