Sahih al-Bukhari 6669 (Book 83, Hadith 47) #6414
Eating and Drinking Forgetfully While Fasting

SUMMARY: Allah has made it permissible for someone to eat and drink forgetfully while fasting.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "If somebody eats something forgetfully while he is fasting, then he should complete his fast, for Allah has made him eat and drink".
حَدَّثَنِي يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَوْفٌ، عَنْ خِلاَسٍ، وَمُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَكَلَ نَاسِيًا وَهْوَ صَائِمٌ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ وَسَقَاهُ

Seek forgiveness from Allah when necessary; strive to do your best in fulfilling religious obligations; remain mindful in all aspects of life; complete your fast even if you make a mistake or forget something important.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of fasting during Ramadan, which is one of the five pillars of Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that if someone eats or drinks something forgetfully while they are fasting, then they should still complete their fast. This means that even if a person makes a mistake, Allah will forgive them and allow them to continue with their fast. The lesson here is that we should not give up on our religious obligations just because we make mistakes; instead, we should strive to do our best and seek forgiveness from Allah when necessary.

This hadith also teaches us about the importance of being mindful in all aspects of life, especially when it comes to religious practices such as fasting during Ramadan. We must remember that even if we make mistakes or forget something important, Allah will forgive us and allow us to continue with our obligations as long as we seek His forgiveness sincerely.
