Fasting - 9th Ramadan 1433 (28th July 2012)
Narrated Al-Bara (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
It was the custom among the companions of Muhammad (Sallallahu 'Alaihi WaSallam) that if any of them was fasting and the food was presented (forbreaking his fast), but he slept before eating, he would not eat that nightand the following day till sunset.
Qais bin Sirma-al-Ansari was fasting and came to his wife at the time ofIftar (breaking one's fast) and asked her whether she had anything to eat.She replied, "No, but I would go and bring some for you." He used to dohard work during the day, so he was overwhelmed by sleep and slept. Whenhis wife came and saw him, she said, "Disappointment for you." When it wasmidday on the following day, he fainted and the Prophet (Sallallahu 'AlaihiWa Sallam) was informed about the whole matter and the following verseswere revealed: "You are permitted To go to your wives (for sexual relation)At the night of fasting." So, they were overjoyed by it. And then Allahalso revealed: "And eat and drink Until the white thread Of dawn appears toyou Distinct from the black thread (of the night)." (2.187)
