أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَی عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجِيئُ وَيَقُولُ هَلْ عِنْدَکُمْ غَدَائٌ فَنَقُولُ لَا فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَأَتَانَا يَوْمًا وَقَدْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَکُمْ شَيْئٌ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ أُرِيدُ الصَّوْمَ فَأَکَلَ خَالَفَهُ قَاسِمُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2330
It was narrated that Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم came to me one day and said: ‘Do you have anything (to eat)?’ I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Then I am fasting.’ Then he came to me after that day, and I had been given some Hais. I had kept some for him as he liked Hais. She said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, we have been given some Hais and I kept some for you.’ He said: ‘Bring it here. I started the day fasting.’ Then he ate some of it, then he said: ‘The likeness of a Voluntaiy fast is that of a man who allocated some of his wealth to give in charity; if he wishes he may go ahead and give it, and if he wishes he may keep it.” (Hasan)
