Jami at-Tirmidhi 734 (Book 8, Hadith 53) #26299
Fasting and Eating in Moderation

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was fasting and when he was offered food, he said that he had already started the day fasting.

Aishah, the Mother of the Believers, narrated: "The Messenger of Allah came to me saying, 'Do you have anything for breakfast?' I said: 'No'. Then he said: 'I am fasting'." She said: "One day he came to me and I said: 'O Messenger of Allah; I have received a gift for us'. He said: 'What is it?'" She said: "I said 'Hais' He said: 'I began the day fasting'" She said: "Then he ate".
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَأْتِينِي فَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ أَعِنْدَكِ غَدَاءٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَأَقُولُ لاَ ‏.‏ فَيَقُولُ ‏"‏ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَأَتَانِي يَوْمًا فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أُهْدِيَتْ لَنَا هَدِيَّةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَمَا هِيَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ حَيْسٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ صَائِمًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ ثُمَّ أَكَلَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ

This hadith is about moderation in eating and fasting. It shows us that even though Prophet Muhammad PBUH was offered food, he chose to fast as it was his intention for the day. He did not overindulge or eat too much but instead ate a moderate amount of food when it was offered to him later on in the day. This teaches us that we should be mindful of our eating habits and practice moderation when it comes to consuming food or drinks. We should also be mindful of our intentions for each day and strive to fulfill them no matter what obstacles come our way.
