Sunan Abi Dawud 2457 (Book 14, Hadith 145) #22748
Forgiveness in Fasting

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) forgiving two of his wives for breaking their fast due to temptation.

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin: Some food was presented to me and Hafsah. We were fasting, but broke our fast. Then the Messenger of Allah entered upon us. We said to him: A gift was presented to us; we coveted it and we broke our fast. The Messenger of Allah said: There is no harm to you; keep a fast another day in lieu of it.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ، عَنْ زُمَيْلٍ، مَوْلَى عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أُهْدِيَ لِي وَلِحَفْصَةَ طَعَامٌ وَكُنَّا صَائِمَتَيْنِ فَأَفْطَرْنَا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ فَاشْتَهَيْنَاهَا فَأَفْطَرْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ عَلَيْكُمَا صُومَا مَكَانَهُ يَوْمًا آخَرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the mercy and forgiveness that Allah has bestowed upon us. It tells us that even if we make a mistake, Allah will forgive us if we repent and ask for His forgiveness. In this particular case, two of the Prophet's wives were fasting but broke their fast due to temptation. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) showed them mercy and told them they could make up for it by fasting another day instead. This teaches us that no matter how big or small our mistakes are, Allah will always forgive us if we sincerely repent and ask Him for forgiveness. We should also strive to show others mercy and understanding when they make mistakes as well, just as the Prophet did with his wives in this hadith.
