1915. Narrated Al-Barā': رضي الله عنه 'It was the custom among the companions of Muḥammad ﷺ that if any of them was observing As-Saum (fast) and the food was presented [for Iftār — breaking his Saum (fast)], but he slept before eating, he would not eat that night and the following day till sunset. Qais bin Ṣirma Al-Anṣārī was observing Saum (fast) and came to his wife at the time of Iftār and asked her whether she had anything to eat. She replied, "No, but I would go and bring something for you." He used to do hard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. When his wife came and saw him, she said, "Disappointment for you." When it was midday on the following day, he fainted and the Prophet ﷺ was informed about the whole matter; upon which the following Verses were revealed: "It is made lawful for you to have sexual relations with your wives on the night of As-Saum (the fasts)..." So they were rejoiced greatly by it. And then Allāh also revealed: "...And eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night)..." (V.2:187)

1915 - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ البَرَاءِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: " كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ صَائِمًا، فَحَضَرَ الإِفْطَارُ، فَنَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ لَيْلَتَهُ وَلاَ يَوْمَهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ، وَإِنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ صِرْمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ صَائِمًا، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ الإِفْطَارُ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهَا: أَعِنْدَكِ طَعَامٌ؟ قَالَتْ: لاَ وَلَكِنْ أَنْطَلِقُ فَأَطْلُبُ لَكَ، وَكَانَ يَوْمَهُ يَعْمَلُ، فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ، فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ، فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ: خَيْبَةً لَكَ، فَلَمَّا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ} [البقرة: 187] فَفَرِحُوا بِهَا فَرَحًا شَدِيدًا، وَنَزَلَتْ: {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ} [البقرة: 187]
