A'isha Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah came to her and said: "Do you have any food?" and Aishah said: "O Messenger of Allah, we have been given some Hais." So he called for it, and said: "I started the day fasting," then he ate.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2328
This Hadith about voluntary fasting joins two parts of the event. First, the Messenger of Allah came to Aishah and asked if there was food. She said no, and he said he was fasting. On another day, Aishah said that Hais had been gifted to them. He called for it, said that he had started the day fasting, and then ate. The main message in the text is the Prophet’s action with an optional fast and gifted food. It is a useful narration for searches like “started the day fasting then ate” and “Hais fasting hadith.” The report does not add a long legal explanation in this wording.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet fasted when no food was available.
- Aishah later told him about gifted Hais.
- He said he had started the day fasting before eating.
- The report records the action without adding a long explanation.
