1701. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would enter upon me and say: 'Do you have anything (any food)?' If we said: 'No,' he would say: 'Then I am fasting.' So he would continue fasting, then if we were given some food, he would break his fast." She said: "Sometimes he would fast and (then) break fast (i.e., combine fasting and breaking fast in one day)." I said: "How was that?" She said: "Like the one who goes out with charity (i.e., something to give in charity), and he gives some away and keeps some." (Hasan)

Commentary
Completing a voluntary fast yields reward, and to leave it incomplete is also allowed, but in doing so, the person will have no reward.
