Bayhaqi 7902 — The earlier state of fasting, with eating, drinking

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ، أنبأ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِصِيَامِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ، ثُمَّ أُنْزِلَ رَمَضَانُ وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا لَمْ يَتَعَوَّدُوا الصِّيَامَ، وَكَانَ الصِّيَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَدِيدًا، فَكَانَ مَنْ لَمْ يَصُمْ أَطْعَمَ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ} [البقرة: ١٨٥] فَكَانَتِ الرُّخْصَةُ لِلْمَرِيضِ وَالْمُسَافِرِ وَأُمِرُوا بِالصِّيَامِ، قَالَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا: وَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَنَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ، فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ وَأَرَادَ امْرَأَتَهُ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي قَدْ نِمْتُ فَظَنَّ أَنَّهَا تَعْتَلُّ فَأَتَاهَا، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَرَادَ طَعَامًا، فَقَالُوا: حَتَّى نُسَخِّنَ لَكَ شَيْئًا فَنَامَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِيهَا {أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ} [البقرة: ١٨٧].
Amr bin Murrah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard Ibn Abi Layla narrating this hadith, that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) told us that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Madinah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) told them to fast three days. Then the command of Ramadan was revealed, and the people were not used to fasting, so fasting became difficult for them. So whoever did not fast would feed sixty poor people. Then this verse was revealed: "So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it" [Surah al-Baqarah: 185]. Then the concession remained only for the sick and the traveller, and the rest were commanded to fast.
It was also narrated that sometimes a man would break his fast, fall asleep before eating, and would not eat until the next morning. Likewise Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and desired his wife, and she said: "I have already slept." He thought she was making an excuse, so he had relations with her. And a man from the Ansar came and wanted food, and they said: (Wait) until we warm something up for you; and he fell asleep. When morning came, this verse was revealed to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "It has been made lawful for you, on the night of the fast, to go in to your wives" [Surah al-Baqarah: 187].
