اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ ؟ " ، فَنَقُولُ : لَا ، فَيَقُولُ : " إِنِّي صَائِمٌ " فَيُقِيمُ عَلَى صَوْمِهِ ، ثُمَّ يُهْدَى لَنَا شَيْءٌ فَيُفْطِرُ ، قَالَتْ : وَرُبَّمَا صَامَ وَأَفْطَرَ ، قُلْتُ : كَيْفَ ذَا ؟ ، قَالَتْ : إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ هَذَا ، مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَيُعْطِي بَعْضًا وَيُمْسِكُ بَعْضًا .
´It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would enter upon me and say: ‘Do you have anything (any food)?’ If we said: ‘No,’ he would say: ‘Then I am fasting.’ So he would continue fasting, then it we were given some food, he would break his fast.” She said: “Sometimes he would fast and (then) break fast (i.e., combine fasting and breaking fast in one day).” I said: “How is that?” She said: “Like the one who goes out with charity (i.e., something to give in charity),and he gives some away and keeps some.”

Brief Explanation

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Completing a voluntary fast (nafl) is meritorious, and leaving it incomplete without a valid reason is also impermissible; however, in such a case, the person will not receive any reward.
➋ In the case of voluntary charity (nafl sadaqah), if one intends to give a certain amount but gives less at the time of giving, there is no sin upon him; only the reward will be reduced accordingly.
➌ To clarify a legal issue (mas’alah), one should explain it by giving an example of a similar issue.

Its explanation has already been mentioned previously that Qasim has reported Aisha bint Talha as the teacher of Talha instead of Mujahid. In a forthcoming hadith (2330), both are mentioned, as if both narrations are correct. Please refer to the clarification mentioned under Chapter: 67.

Benefits and Issues:
There is a concession in voluntary (nafl) fasting that its intention (niyyah) can be made after Fajr, according to some, up until before midday (zawal).
Similarly, if someone has already made the intention for a voluntary fast, he may break it due to a valid excuse.
It is not necessary to make up (qada) for such a fast.
