Hadith 2325

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكٌ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : دَارَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَوْرَةً ، قَالَ : " أَعِنْدَكِ شَيْءٌ ؟ " ، قَالَتْ : لَيْسَ عِنْدِي شَيْءٌ ، قَالَ : " فَأَنَا صَائِمٌ " ، قَالَتْ : ثُمَّ دَارَ عَلَيَّ الثَّانِيَةَ وَقَدْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ ، فَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَأَكَلَ فَعَجِبْتُ مِنْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ! دَخَلْتَ عَلَيَّ وَأَنْتَ صَائِمٌ ، ثُمَّ أَكَلْتَ حَيْسًا ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّمَا مَنْزِلَةُ مَنْ صَامَ فِي غَيْرِ رَمَضَانَ ، أَوْ غَيْرِ قَضَاءِ رَمَضَانَ ، أَوْ فِي التَّطَوُّعِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ رَجُلٍ أَخْرَجَ صَدَقَةَ مَالِهِ ، فَجَادَ مِنْهَا بِمَا شَاءَ ، فَأَمْضَاهُ وَبَخِلَ مِنْهَا بِمَا بَقِيَ فَأَمْسَكَهُ " .
´It was narrated that 'Aishah said:` "The Messenger of Allah passed by my door. He said: 'Do you have anything (to eat)?' I said 'I do not have anything.' He said 'Then I am fasting.' Then he passed by my door a second time and we had been given some Hais. I brought it to him and he ate, and I was surprised. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, you were fasting, then you ate Hais.' He said: 'Yes, O 'Aishah. The one who observes a fast other than in Ramadan, or making up a missed Ramadan, fast, is like a man who allocated some of is wealth to give in charity; if he wishes he may go ahead and give it, and if he wishes he may keep it."'
