question #1 Sahih Muslim 1105, Book 13, Hadith 78 : Why did the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) forbid his companions from practicing continuous fasting?

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) forbade them (his Companions) to observe Saum Wisal out of mercy for them. They said: You (Holy Prophet) yourself observe it. Upon this he said: I am not like you. My Lord feeds me and provides me drink.
