Ash-Shama'il Al-Muhammadiyah 181
'A’isha, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be well pleased with her), said:
"The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) used to come to me and say: “Do you have something for lunch?” I would say: “No,” so he would say: “I am fasting.” When he came to me one day, I said: “O Messenger of Allah, we have been given a gift!” He said: “What is it?” I said: “It is a meal of dates mixed with butter and curds.” He said: “As for me,
I began the day fasting.” But then he ate.”
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلانَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَتْ‏:‏ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْتِينِي فَيَقُولُ‏:‏ أَعِنْدَكِ غَدَاءٌ‏؟‏ فَأَقُولُ‏:‏ لا قَالَتْ‏:‏ فَيَقُولُ‏:‏ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ قَالَتْ‏:‏ فَأَتَانِي يَوْمًا، فَقُلْتُ‏:‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ وَمَا هِيَ‏؟‏ قُلْتُ‏:‏ حَيْسٌ، قَالَ‏:‏ أَمَا إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا، قَالَتْ‏:‏ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ‏.‏
