On the authority of Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: Whoever fasts Ramadan and then follows it six days of Shawwal, it is like an eternal fast. (Muslim)
Imam Al-Nawawi - may God have mercy on him - said: The scholars said: (Rather it was like fasting forever, because good deeds are ten times greater, so Ramadan is ten months, and six months are ...)

He said: I wished that he did not feed forever
