Ata' al-Khurasani narrated: Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) on the day of Arafah while she was fasting and water was being sprinkled on her. Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) said to her: "Break your fast." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Should I break my fast when I have heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Fasting on the day of Arafah becomes an expiation for the sins of the year before it'?"
Imam Ahmad recorded it. The narrator Ata' did not hear from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her); rather, Yahya bin Ma'in said: To my knowledge he did not meet any of the Companions. The remaining narrators of this report are the narrators of the Sahih.
