Musnad Ahmad 5795 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : وَاصَلَ فِي رَمَضَانَ ، فَوَاصَلَ النَّاسُ ، فَنَهَاهُمْ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ ! قَالَ : " إِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَكُمْ ، إِنِّي أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) observed continuous fasting for several days in the month of Ramadan with only one pre-dawn meal (suhoor). The people also did the same, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from doing so. They said, "You forbid us from observing continuous fasting for several days, yet you yourself do it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "I am not like you; I am given food and drink by Allah."
