حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادٍ الْعَامِرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُکَيْرِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَی سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَکْوَعِ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَکْوَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ کُنَّا فِي رَمَضَانَ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ شَائَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَائَ أَفْطَرَ فَافْتَدَی بِطَعَامِ مِسْکِينٍ حَتَّی أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْکُمْ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2686
Salama b. Akwa' (Allah be pleased with him) reported that when this verse was revealed: And as for those who can fast (but do not) expiation is the feeding of a needy person (ii. 183), (he who liked to observe fast did observe it) and he who felt reluctant to observe it ate and expiated till the verse was revealed which abrogated it.
