أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مَعْنٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَی عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ وَمُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَتَاهَا فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَکُمْ طَعَامٌ فَقُلْتُ لَا قَالَ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ثُمَّ جَائَ يَوْمًا آخَرَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا فَأَکَلَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2334
It was narrated from ‘Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم used to come to her when he was fasting and say: “Do you have anything this morning that you can give me to eat?” We would say no, and he would say: “I am fasting.” Then after that he came and she said: “I have been given a gift.” He said: “What is it?” She said: “Hais.” He said: “I started the day fasting,” but then he ate. (Sahih)
