حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي خَالِدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، " دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فَأَتَتْهُ بِتَمْرٍ وَسَمْنٍ ، قَالَ : أَعِيدُوا سَمْنَكُمْ فِي سِقَائِهِ ، وَتَمْرَكُمْ فِي وِعَائِهِ ، فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَصَلَّى غَيْرَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ ، فَدَعَا لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا ، فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِي خُوَيْصَّةً ، قَالَ : مَا هِيَ ؟ قَالَتْ : خَادِمُكَ أَنَسٌ ، فَمَا تَرَكَ خَيْرَ آخِرَةٍ وَلَا دُنْيَا إِلَّا دَعَا لِي بِهِ ، قَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُ مَالًا ، وَوَلَدًا ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيهِ ، فَإِنِّي لَمِنْ أَكْثَرِ الْأَنْصَارِ مَالًا ، وَحَدَّثَتْنِي ابْنَتِي أُمَيْنَةُ أَنَّهُ دُفِنَ لِصُلْبِي مَقْدَمَ حَجَّاجٍ الْبَصْرَةَ بِضْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ وَمِائَةٌ " . حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ ، سَمِعَ أَنَسًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Anas: The Prophet paid a visit to Um-Sulaim and she placed before him dates and ghee. The Prophet said, "Replace the ghee and dates in their respective containers for I am fasting." Then he stood somewhere in her house and offered an optional prayer and then he invoked good on Um-Sulaim and her family. Then Um-Sulaim said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have a special request (today)." He said, "What is it?" She replied, "(Please invoke for) your servant Anas." So Allah's Apostle did not leave anything good in the world or the Hereafter which he did not invoke (Allah to bestow) on me and said, "O Allah! Give him (i.e. Anas) property and children and bless him." Thus I am one of the richest among the Ansar and my daughter Umaina told me that when Al-Hajjaj came to Basra, more than 120 of my offspring had been buried.

Hadith Commentary:
In the previous hadith, there is mention of Hajjaj, who came to Basra in 75 AH.
At that time, the age of Hazrat Anas radi Allahu anhu was a little over eighty years. He passed away around 93 AH.
His age reached nearly one hundred years.
All of this was due to the blessing of the supplication (du'a) of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
In one narration, it is mentioned that he personally buried 125 children from his own progeny; then one should estimate the number of other relatives.
The objective of this hadith for the chapter is established in this way: the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam went to the house of Umm Sulaym radi Allahu anha while in a state of fasting, and he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam returned the food at her place.
And he did not break his fast.
It is thus established that if someone else does the same, it is permissible, correct, and even in accordance with the Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
All of this depends on the circumstances.
There may also be occasions where breaking the fast is permissible.
And some where keeping the fast is also permissible.
These are matters for each person to decide in their own heart and to understand the situation.
Innamal a‘malu bin-niyyat (Actions are only by intentions).

608. Commentary:
➊ At times, congregational prayer (jama‘ah) can be held for voluntary (nafl) prayers, and it is possible that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) led the prayer with the intention of imparting blessing (barakah), and it is also possible that he did so to teach them the prayer, so that the women could also closely observe the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). (Nawawi)
➋ If there are two men in the congregation, both will form a single row; the imam will stand on the left side and the follower (muqtadi) will stand to his right, and as for women, whether one or more, their row will be separate.
