A man who makes another man break his fast

Sharik said: Salim once had food prepared and sent a man to Sa'id bin Jubayr to invite him. Sa'id bin Jubayr said: "I am fasting." Salim told him the hadith of Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him), that Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) broke his fast at his request. At this, Sa'id bin Jubayr broke his fast.

Kharashah bin al-Hurr said: We were with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when food was brought to him. He told the people to eat, and all of them said: "We are fasting." Sayyiduna Umar insisted that they break their fast, so all the people broke their fast.

Sulayman bin Musa asked Ata: "May a man break his fast for the sake of his guest?" He said: "Yes."

Al-Hasan used to grant permission that if a guest comes to someone's home, he may break his fast for the guest's sake and make up one day's fast in its place.
