English translation

2454. It was reported from Ḥafṣah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whoever did not intent to fast before Fajr, then there is no fast for him." (Da'if) Abū Dāwud said: Al-Laith and Ishāq bin Hāzim also reported it from 'Abdullāh bin Abī Bakr, similarly. Ma'mar, Az-Zubaidī, Ibn 'Uyaynah and Yūnus Al-Aylī, all reported it from Az-Zuhri in Mawqūf form from Ḥafṣah.

Arabic text

2454 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ لَمْ يُجْمِعِ الصِّيَامَ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ، فَلَا صِيَامَ لَهُ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، أَيْضًا جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، مِثْلَهُ، وَوَقَفَهُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ مَعْمَرٌ، وَالزُّبَيْدِيُّ، وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، وَيُونُسُ الْأَيْلِيُّ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ

Commentary

In case of obligatory fasts it is necessary to have the intention before Fajr, and it is preferable to do it separately for each day. It must, however, be noted that intention means the determination of the heart.
