Arabic hadith text
وعنها رضي الله عنها قالت: نهاهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن الوصال رحمة لهم، فقالوا: إنك تواصل؟ قال: "إني لست كهيئتكم، إني أبيت يطعمني ربي ويسقيني " ((متفق عليه)).
معناه يجعل في قوة من أكل وشرب.
Translation
'Aishah (May Allah bepleased with her) reported
The Prophet (ﷺ) prohibited his Companions out of mercy for them, from observing continuous fasting without a break. They said: "But you observe fast continuously". He replied, "I am not like you. I spend the night while my Rubb provides me with food and drink".[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].(This means that Allah has bestowed upon him the power of endurance like that of a person who eats and drinks).
