English translation

2170. It was narrated from Al-Barâ' bin 'Azib that if one of them went to sleep before eating supper, it was not permissible for him to eat or drink anything that night or the following day, until the sun had set. (That continued) until this Verse was revealed: "And eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night)." [2] He said: "This was revealed concerning Abū Qais bin 'Amr who came to his family after Maghrib when he was fasting, and said: 'Is there anything to eat?' His wife said: 'No, but I will go out and try to find something for you to eat.' So she went out, and he lay down and slept. She came back and found him sleeping, so she woke him up, but he did not eat anything. He spent the night fasting and woke up the next day fasting, until he passed out at midday. That was before this Verse was revealed, and Allāh revealed it concerning him." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

2168 - أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَقَ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ: " أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ كَانَ إِذَا نَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَعَشَّى لَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَشْرَبَ لَيْلَتَهُ وَيَوْمَهُ، مِنَ الْغَدِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ، حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا} [البقرة: 187] إِلَى {الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ} [البقرة: 187]، قَالَ: وَنَزَلَتْ فِي أَبِي قَيْسِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَتَى أَهْلَهُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ؟ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ: مَا عِنْدَنَا شَيْءٌ وَلَكِنْ أَخْرُجُ أَلْتَمِسُ لَكَ عَشَاءً، فَخَرَجَتْ وَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَامَ، فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدَتْهُ نَائِمًا وَأَيْقَظَتْهُ، فَلَمْ يَطْعَمْ شَيْئًا وَبَاتَ وَأَصْبَحَ صَائِمًا حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ فَغُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ، وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ "
