Chapter: What was narrated concerning the virtues of fasting

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَقَالَ: ‏”‏ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ شَىْءٌ؟ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَنَقُولُ: لاَ ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ: ‏”‏ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَيُقِيمُ عَلَى صَوْمِهِ ثُمَّ يُهْدَى لَنَا شَىْءٌ فَيُفْطِرُ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ: وَرُبَّمَا صَامَ وَأَفْطَرَ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ ذَا؟ قَالَتْ: إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ هَذَا مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَيُعْطِي بَعْضَهَا وَيُمْسِكُ بَعْضًا ‏.‏

It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “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.”
