حَدَّثَنِي حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ " كَبِرَ حَتَّى كَانَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الصِّيَامِ فَكَانَ يَفْتَدِي "
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was informed that Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) became old to the extent that he could not fast, so he would give fidya (compensation).
