20) Chapter: Sahur is a blessing but it is not compulsory
Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) fasted for days continuously; the people also did the same but it was difficult for them.
So, the Prophet (ﷺ) forbade them (to fast continuously for more than one day). They slid, "But you fast
without break (no food was taken in the evening or in the morning)." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I am not
like you, for I am provided with food and drink (by Allah).
20) باب بَرَكَةِ السَّحُورِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِيجَابٍ
لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ وَاصَلُوا وَلَمْ يُذْكَرِ السَّحُورُ.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَاصَلَ فَوَاصَلَ النَّاسُ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَنَهَاهُمْ. قَالُوا إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ. قَالَ . " لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ، إِنِّي أَظَلُّ أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى "
