Chapter 9 · Fastingحَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَيْءٌ؟ ، فَنَقُولُ: لَا، فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي صَائِمٌ فَيُقِيمُ عَلَى صَوْمِهِ، ثُمَّ يُهْدَى لَنَا شَيْءٌ فَيُفْطِرُ، قَالَتْ: وَرُبَّمَا صَامَ وَأَفْطَرَ، قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ ذَا؟، قَالَتْ: إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ هَذَا، مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَيُعْطِي بَعْضًا وَيُمْسِكُ بَعْضًا.

The Arabic text and the translations come from our previous collection: English from hadithapi.com, German and Turkish machine-translated (Gemini) and unreviewed. A new translation from the Arabic with the chain of narration will follow.
“The Messenger of Allah (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 it 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 is 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.”
