The Importance of Intention for Fasting

SUMMARY: It is important to have the intention to fast before dawn in order to be considered as fasting.

Narrated Hafsah, Ummul Mu'minin: The Messenger of Allah said: He who does not determine to fast before dawn does not fast.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ لَمْ يُجْمِعِ الصِّيَامَ قَبْلَ الْفَجْرِ فَلاَ صِيَامَ لَهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ رَوَاهُ اللَّيْثُ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ أَيْضًا جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِثْلَهُ وَوَقَفَهُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ مَعْمَرٌ وَالزُّبَيْدِيُّ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَيُونُسُ الأَيْلِيُّ كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ
