3299. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik - a man from the tribe of Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal - said:[1] "I came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was eating breakfast and he said: 'Come and eat.' I said: 'I am fasting. Alas! Would that I had eaten of the food of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.'" (Hasan)
3299 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ أَبِي هِلَالٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ - قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَهُوَ يَتَغَدَّى فَقَالَ: «ادْنُ فَكُلْ» فَقُلْتُ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ، فَيَا لَهْفَ نَفْسِي هَلَّا كُنْتُ طَعِمْتُ مِنْ طَعَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

The narrator of this Hadith is not the personal servant of the Prophet ﷺ who was the son of Umm Sulaim. He was another Companion, as the sub-narrator made clear. He belongs to the tribe of Banu 'Abdul-Ashhal. If an invitation is extended to a fasting person then he is recommended to break his voluntary fast. Nevertheless, it is also allowed to complete his fast.
