Arabic text

2398 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَحَبِيبٍ، وَهِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِنِّي أَكَلْتُ وَشَرِبْتُ نَاسِيًا، وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ؟ فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَطْعَمَكَ وَسَقَاكَ»

Commentary

Eating and drinking forgetfully does not invalidate one's fast or their requirement to complete it if they realize that.
