Hadith 2088
Hazrat Rabi’ bint Mu’awwiz bin ‘Afra reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sent a message to the Ansari settlements around Madinah that whoever has started the morning in a state of fasting should complete his fast, and whoever has started the morning without fasting should complete the rest of the day (in the state of fasting). After that, we used to fast on that day and also made our small children fast. We would take them to the mosque and make toys for them out of cotton. When any of them cried (due to hunger), we would give them that toy until it was time for iftar (then we would give them milk).
