A'isha Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah came one day and said: 'Do you have any food?' I said: 'No.' He came in to me on another occasion, and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, we have been given some Hais.' He said: "Then I will break my fast today, although I had started my day fasting."'

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2330
This Hadith about breaking a voluntary fast gives clear wording from Aishah. The Messenger of Allah came one day and asked if there was food. When she said no, he said he would fast. On another occasion, she told him that Hais had been gifted to them. He then said that he would break his fast that day, although he had started the day fasting. The main search phrase is breaking voluntary fast hadith. The text shows a fast that began earlier in the day and was then ended when food was present. It does not mention Ramadan in this wording, so the explanation should stay with the event described.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet said he would fast when no food was available.
- Aishah later told him about gifted Hais.
- He said he would break his fast that day.
- The report states that he had started the day fasting.
