حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بُرْقَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَحَفْصَةُ، صَائِمَتَيْنِ فَعُرِضَ لَنَا طَعَامٌ اشْتَهَيْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَبَدَرَتْنِي إِلَيْهِ حَفْصَةُ وَكَانَتِ ابْنَةَ أَبِيهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا صَائِمَتَيْنِ فَعُرِضَ لَنَا طَعَامٌ اشْتَهَيْنَاهُ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ . قَالَ " اقْضِيَا يَوْمًا آخَرَ مَكَانَهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَرَوَى صَالِحُ بْنُ أَبِي الأَخْضَرِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مِثْلَ هَذَا . وَرَوَاهُ مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ وَمَعْمَرٌ وَعُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَزِيَادُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْحُفَّاظِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ مُرْسَلاً . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا فِيهِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ . لأَنَّهُ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الزُّهْرِيَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَحَدَّثَكَ عُرْوَةُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْ مِنْ عُرْوَةَ فِي هَذَا شَيْئًا وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ فِي خِلاَفَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ مِنْ نَاسٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَنْ سَأَلَ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ . حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ . وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَرَأَوْا عَلَيْهِ الْقَضَاءَ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ .
A'isha Narrated from:
Hafsah And I Were Both Fasting When We Were Presented Some Food That We Really Wanted, So We Ate From It. The Messenger Of Allah Came, And Hafsah Beat Me To Him - She Was The Daughter Of Her Father - And She Said: 'O Messenger Of Allah! We Were Both Fasting When We Were Presented With Some Food That We Wanted, So We Ate From It.' He Said: 'Make Up Another Day In Its Place.'
[1] Meaning, they raced to meet the Prophet ﷺ, but she was quicker than ‘Aishah, may Allāh be pleased with them.Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 735In-book reference : Book 8, Hadith 54English translation : Vol. 2, Book 3, Hadith 735
Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 735
This hadith about making up a broken voluntary fast tells of Aishah and Hafsah fasting together. Food they desired was presented, so they ate from it. When the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم came, Hafsah told him what had happened. He said, “Make up another day in its place.” The Arabic comments add that some narrators reported it as mursal and that this was considered more correct by Abu Isa. It also says some scholars held that making up is required if such a fast is broken. The explanation should reflect the report without ignoring the notes. The main teaching is responsibility after choosing to break a fast, especially when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم gave a direct instruction in this narration.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aishah and Hafsah were honest about breaking the fast.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم instructed them to make up another day in this report.
- The Arabic note records a discussion about the chain.
- The hadith teaches care and responsibility after starting a fast.
