حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ نَصْرٍ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا صَامَ فَنَامَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا ، وَإِنَّ صِرْمَةَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ وَكَانَ صَائِمًا ، فَقَالَ : عِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ ؟ قَالَتْ : لَا ، لَعَلِّي أَذْهَبُ فَأَطْلُبُ لَكَ شَيْئًا ، فَذَهَبَتْ وَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ فَجَاءَتْ ، فَقَالَتْ : خَيْبَةً لَكَ ، فَلَمْ يَنْتَصِفْ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ يَعْمَلُ يَوْمَهُ فِي أَرْضِهِ ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَنَزَلَتْ : أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ قَرَأَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ : مِنَ الْفَجْرِ سورة البقرة آية 187 " .
Al Bara (bin Azib) said “When a man fasted and slept, he could not eat till (another nigh) like it. ” Sarmah bin Qais Al Ansari came to his wife while he was fasting and asked her Do you have something (to eat)? She replied “No”. Let me go and seek something for you. So, she went out and sleep overcame him. She came (back) and said (to him). You are deprived (of food). He fainted before noon. He used to work all day long at his land. This was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ. So the following verse was revealed. “Permitted to you on the nights of the fasts, is the approach to your wives. They are your garments and ye are their garments. Allah knoweth what yes used to do secretly amongst yourselves. But he turned to you and forgave you. So now associate with them and seek what Allaah hath ordained for you. And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn appears to you. He recited up to the words “of dawn”.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ From this hadith, contrary to the previously mentioned hadith, it is established that the earlier ruling was that after falling asleep, eating, drinking, and having intercourse with one's wife at night were prohibited. The commentators have reconciled between the two by stating that whichever of these acts occurred first, after that, the aforementioned acts would become prohibited for the rest of the night until the next evening. Thereafter, Allah, the Exalted, granted permission for these acts from sunset until true dawn (subh sadiq), which brought great concession and ease for the Muslims.
➋ Imam Abu Dawud is of the opinion that the fasts of Ramadan were made obligatory directly; before them, the fasts of Ashura and others were not obligatory. And Allah knows best.
