It was narrated that ‘Aishah said:“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would enter upon me and say: ‘Do you have anything (any food)?’ If we said: ‘No,’ he would say: ‘Then I am fasting.’ So he would continue fasting, then it we were given some food, he would break his fast.” She said: “Sometimes he would fast and (then) break fast (i.e., combine fasting and breaking fast in one day).” I said: “How is that?” She said: “Like the one who goes out with charity (i.e., something to give in charity),and he gives some away and keeps some.”

حدثنا اسماعيل بن موسى، حدثنا شريك، عن طلحة بن يحيى، عن مجاهد، عن عايشة، قالت دخل على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: " هل عندكم شىء؟ " . فنقول: لا . فيقول: " اني صايم " . فيقيم على صومه ثم يهدى لنا شىء فيفطر . قالت: وربما صام وافطر . قلت: كيف ذا؟ قالت: انما مثل هذا مثل الذي يخرج بصدقة فيعطي بعضها ويمسك بعضا
