Sunan an-Nasai 2328 (Book 22, Hadith 239) #16939
Eating Despite Fasting

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad asked Aishah if she had any food, and when she said yes, he ate it even though he had started the day fasting.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that 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.
أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مَعْنٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، وَمُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتَاهَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ هَلْ عِنْدَكُمْ طَعَامٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ لاَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَوْمًا آخَرَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ أُهْدِيَ لَنَا حَيْسٌ فَدَعَا بِهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَكَلَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Be generous with your blessings; Share your blessings; Be thankful for what you have been given; Eat despite fasting

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by 'Aishah tells us about the importance of eating despite fasting. Even though the Prophet Muhammad started his day with a fast, when Aishah offered him food, he accepted it and ate it. This teaches us that we should not be too strict with ourselves when it comes to fasting and that we should still eat even if we are fasting. We should also remember to be thankful for what Allah has given us and not take our blessings for granted.

This hadith also shows us how important hospitality is in Islam; Aishah was willing to offer her food to the Prophet even though she did not have much herself. This teaches us that we should always be generous with what Allah has blessed us with and share our blessings with others whenever possible.
