Hadith 798

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْأَشَجِّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ سورة البقرة آية 184 ، كان من أراد منا أن يفطر ويفتدي حتى نزلت الآية التي بعدها فنسختها " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ ، وَيَزِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ .
´Salamah bin Al-Akwa said:` "When the following was revealed: 'And for those upon whom it is difficult, (they may) feed a poor person' - if one of us wanted we would not fast, and pay the ransom, until the Ayah after it was revealed abrogating it."

Brief Explanation
1؎ : The subsequent verse refers to the noble verse «فمن شهد منكم الشهر فليصمه» (al-Baqarah: 185).

2؎ : This hadith is an explicit proof that the noble verse «وعلى الذين يطيقونه فدية» is abrogated; this is the opinion of the majority and it is the truth. However, Ibn ‘Abbas’s opinion is that this verse is definitive (muhkam) and its ruling is specific to those elderly people who experience hardship and difficulty in fasting.
