[2714] 169 - (1154) It was narrated that 'Âishah, the Mother of the Believers [may Allâh be pleased with her], said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me one day: 'O 'Aishah! Do you have anything (to eat)?' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, we do not have anything.' He said: 'Then I am fasting.' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ went out, then a gift was brought to us - or some visitors came to us. When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came back, I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, a gift was brought to us - or some visitors came to us - and I kept something for you.' He said: 'What is it?' I said: 'Hais.'[1] He said: 'Bring it.' So I brought it to him and he ate, then he said: 'I woke up this morning fasting.'" (One of the narrators) Talhah said: "I narrated this Hadith to Mujāhid and he said: 'That is like a man who allocates charity from his wealth: If he wishes, he may give it, and if he wishes, he may keep it.'"

169 - (1154) وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ فُضَيْلُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ بِنْتُ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ «يَا عَائِشَةُ، هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ؟» قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ قَالَ: «فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ» قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ - أَوْ جَاءَنَا زَوْرٌ - قَالَتْ: فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ - أَوْ جَاءَنَا زَوْرٌ - وَقَدْ خَبَأْتُ لَكَ شَيْئًا، قَالَ: «مَا هُوَ؟» قُلْتُ: حَيْسٌ، قَالَ: «هَاتِيهِ» فَجِئْتُ بِهِ فَأَكَلَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «قَدْ كُنْتُ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا» قَالَ طَلْحَةُ: فَحَدَّثْتُ مُجَاهِدًا بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ، فَقَالَ: «ذَاكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّجُلِ يُخْرِجُ الصَّدَقَةَ مِنْ مَالِهِ، فَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمْضَاهَا وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَمْسَكَهَا»
