أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، نا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ خِلَاسٍ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((مَنْ أَكَلَ نَاسِيًا أَوْ شَرِبَ نَاسِيًا فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ وَسَقَاهُ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever eats or drinks forgetfully should complete his fast, for it is Allah who has fed him and given him drink."

Benefits:
From the mentioned hadith, it is understood that whoever eats or drinks forgetfully while fasting, his fast will not be broken, because the Shari‘ah has taken into account the natural weaknesses of human beings, and forgetfulness is also part of human nature. And in the Shari‘ah of Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), there is no accountability for such things, as is stated in the hadith: Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (radi Allahu anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Allah has pardoned for my sake my ummah’s mistakes, forgetfulness, and what they are compelled to do.” (Sunan Ibn Majah, no. 2043) From this, one can also appreciate the compassion and ease of Islam.
