It was narrated from Al-Bara bin Azib that:if one of them went to sleep before eating supper, it was not permissible for him to eat or drink anything that night or the following day, until the sun had set. (That continued) until this Verse was revealed: "And eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night)." He said: "This was revealed concerning Abu Qais bin 'Amr who came to his family after Maghrib when he was fasting, and said: 'Is there anything to eat?" His wife said: 'No , but I will go out, and he lay down and slept. She came back and found him sleeping, so she woke him up, but he did not eat anything. He spent the night fasting and woke up the next day fasting, until he passed out at midday. That was before this Verse was revealed, and Allah revealed it concerning him

اخبرني هلال بن العلاء بن هلال، قال حدثنا حسين بن عياش، قال حدثنا زهير، قال حدثنا ابو اسحاق، عن البراء بن عازب، ان احدهم، كان اذا نام قبل ان يتعشى لم يحل له ان ياكل شييا ولا يشرب ليلته ويومه من الغد حتى تغرب الشمس حتى نزلت هذه الاية { وكلوا واشربوا } الى { الخيط الاسود } قال ونزلت في ابي قيس بن عمرو اتى اهله وهو صايم بعد المغرب فقال هل من شىء فقالت امراته ما عندنا شىء ولكن اخرج التمس لك عشاء . فخرجت ووضع راسه فنام فرجعت اليه فوجدته نايما وايقظته فلم يطعم شييا وبات واصبح صايما حتى انتصف النهار فغشي عليه وذلك قبل ان تنزل هذه الاية فانزل الله فيه
