The Meaning of the Hadith: “Indeed, I spend the night, and my Lord feeds me and gives me drink”

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ? And in our hadith, he said (peace and blessings be upon him), “I spend the night, and He feeds me.” Did it come in the wording “I spend the night with my Lord, and He feeds me”?

Answer:
The scholars have differed in interpreting this. Some say that food from Paradise and drink from Paradise are brought to him (peace and blessings be upon him), but this is not correct, because if that were the case, he would not be fasting; if he were eating and drinking, he would not be fasting. The correct view, and Allah knows best, is that he subsists on the remembrance of Allah, on the remembrance of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), for the remembrance of Allah strengthens the body. The remembrance of Allah strengthens the body. The Messenger subsists and continues on the remembrance of Allah and the obedience of Allah. This strengthens him and suffices him from food and drink. Yes. This is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
