اُردوEn
190 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ: ثنا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَي عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ خَالَتِهَا عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ مِنْ طَعَامٍ؟» فَقُلْتُ: نَعَمْ، فَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَعْبًا فِيهِ حَيْسٌ خَبَّأْنَاهُ لَهُ «فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ فَأَكَلَ» وَقَالَ «أَمَّا أَنَا قَدْ كُنْتُ صَائِمًا»
Aisha bint Talha narrates from her maternal aunt, Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and said, "Is there anything to eat?" I replied, "Yes." I presented to him a bowl in which there was hais (a specific type of sweet dish) that we had saved for you. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on it and ate it. Then he said, "I was (voluntarily) fasting."

Nasai — Hadith 2326
´It was narrated that 'Aishah said the Messenger of Allah would come and say:` "Do you have any food for breakfast?" and we would say no, so he would say: "I am fasting." One day he came to us and we had been given some Hais. He said: "Do you have anything (to eat)?" and we said: "Yes, we have been given some Hais." He said: "I started the day wanting to fast," but then he ate.
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
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.

Tirmidhi — Hadith 734
´Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, narrated:` "The Messenger of Allah came to me saying, 'Do you have anything for breakfast?' I said: 'No.' Then he said: 'I am fasting.'" She said: "One day he came to me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah; I have received a gift for us.' He said: 'What is it?'" She said: "I said 'Hais' He said: 'I began the day fasting'" She said: "Then he ate."

Abu Dawud — Hadith 2455
Aishah said: When the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, he would ask: Do you have food ? When we said: No, he would say: I am fasting. Waki added in his version: Another day when he entered upon us, we said: Messenger of Allah, some pudding (hair) has been presented to us and we have retained it for you. He said: Bring it to me. Talhah said: He fasted in the morning, but broke his fast (that day).
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
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.

Ibn Majah — Hadith 1701
´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.”
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.

Musnad Humaydi — Hadith 191
Aisha bint Talha narrates this statement from her aunt, Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her): One day, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" I replied, "We have nothing to eat." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then I will observe (a voluntary) fast."
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
It is established from this hadith that making the intention (niyyah) for a voluntary (nafl) fast during the day is also permissible, with the condition that from the time of dawn (adhan) until that point in the day, nothing has been eaten or drunk. Countless hadith scholars (muhaddithin) have derived this ruling from this hadith.
