أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ مُعَاذَةَ الْعَدَوِيَّةِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَأَلَتْ عَائِشَةَ أَتَقْضِي الْحَائِضُ الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا طَهُرَتْ قَالَتْ أَحَرُورِيَّةٌ أَنْتِ کُنَّا نَحِيضُ عَلَی عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ نَطْهُرُ فَيَأْمُرُنَا بِقَضَائِ الصَّوْمِ وَلَا يَأْمُرُنَا بِقَضَائِ الصَّلَاةِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2324
It was narrated that Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ said: “When this Verse was revealed — ‘And as for those who can fast with difficulty, (e.g. an old man), they have (a choice either to fast or) to feed a MiskIn (poor person) (for every day)J — those among us who did not want to fast would pay the Fidyah, until the Verse after it was revealed and abrogated this.” (Sahih)
