وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ يَعْقُوبُ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، وَمَسْرُوقٍ أَنَّهُمَا دَخَلاَ عَلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَسْأَلاَنِهَا . فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1106h
This narration states that Aswad and Masruq went to the Mother of the Believers and asked her, and the rest of the Hadith was similar to the earlier report. The earlier report says that they asked A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) whether the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) embraced while fasting, and she answered in the affirmative while pointing to his control over desire. This version mainly supports that same report. It does not bring a new ruling or extra story. Its value is in showing that the question was asked and transmitted again. For people searching for Aisha embracing while fasting hadith, this narration supports the same topic.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aswad and Masruq asked the Mother of the Believers about this matter.
- The narration supports the earlier report on embracing while fasting.
- No new details are added in this version.
- Questions about fasting were taken to those who knew the Prophet’s practice.
