حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الأَزْرَقُ ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي الْحَجَّاجِ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَتْ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِينَا ، فَيَقُولُ : " هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنْ غَدَاءٍ ؟ " ، فَإِنْ قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، تَغَدَّى ، وَإِنْ قُلْنَا : لا ، قَالَ : " إِنِّي صَائِمٌ " ، وَإِنَّهُ أَتَانَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَقَدْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ وَقَدْ خَبَّأْنَا لَكَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَمَا إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا فَأَكَلَ " . وَهَذَا إِسْنَادٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Sometimes the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would come to us and ask: "Do you have anything to eat?" If we replied: Yes, then he would eat it, and if we said: No, then the Prophet (peace be upon him) would say: "Then I will fast." Once he came to us, and we had been sent (Hais) as a gift. I said: O Messenger of Allah! We have been given Hais as a gift, which I have saved for you. He said: "I had intended to fast this morning." But then he ate it. The chain of this hadith is authentic.
