Sahur is a blessing but it is not compulsory

باب بَرَكَةِ السَّحُورِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِيجَابٍ

Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Fasting(view book)

لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابَهُ وَاصَلُوا وَلَمْ يُذْكَرِ السَّحُورُ.

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet fasted for days continuously;
the people also did the same but it was difficult for them. So, the Prophet 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 replied, "I am not like you, for I am provided with food and drink (by Allah)."

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا جُوَيْرِيَةُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَاصَلَ فَوَاصَلَ النَّاسُ فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ، فَنَهَاهُمْ. قَالُوا إِنَّكَ تُوَاصِلُ. قَالَ " لَسْتُ كَهَيْئَتِكُمْ، إِنِّي أَظَلُّ أُطْعَمُ وَأُسْقَى ".

Narrated Anas bin Malik:

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take Suhur as there is a blessing in it."

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صُهَيْبٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ " تَسَحَّرُوا فَإِنَّ فِي السَّحُورِ بَرَكَةً ".
