Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #26890

Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, Abu Dawud told us, Shu’bah told us, he said: I used to hear Samak bin Harb say, one of the sons of Umm Hani. He told me, and I found out that I was the better of them. His name was Ja`dah, and Umm Hani was his grandmother. He told me about his grandmother, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, When he greeted her, he entered upon her and called for a drink. He drank, then gave it to her, and she drank. She said, “O Messenger of God, I was fasting.” So the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said. “The voluntary fasting person is trustworthy. If he wishes, he may fast, and if he wishes, he may break his fast.” Shu’bah said, “I said to him, ‘Did you hear this from Umm Hani. He said, No. Abu Saleh and our family told me about Umm Hani. Hammad bin Salama narrated this hadith on the authority of Samak bin Harb. He said, on the authority of Harun Ibn Umm Hani, on the authority of Umm Hani, and the narration of Shu’bah is better. This is how Mahmoud bin Ghaylan told us, on the authority of My father David said “He is the leader of himself.” And someone other than Mahmoud narrated to us on the authority of Abu Dawud, and he said, “The leader of himself or the leader of himself.” There is no doubt. And thus it was narrated in more than one way, on the authority of Shu’bah, “a trustee or a prince himself,” without doubt. He said, and the hadith of Umm Hani in its chain of transmission is an article. And work Accordingly, according to some people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, and others, the voluntary fasting person, if he breaks his fast, is not required to make up for it unless he loves. That he fulfills it. This is the saying of Sufyan al-Thawri, Ahmad, Ishaq, and al-Shafi’i.
