Hadith 2536

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon Hafsah and Aisha while they were fasting, then left and returned to find them eating. He said, "Were you not fasting?" They said, "Yes, but we were presented with this food, and we desired it, so we ate from it." He said, "Fast another day in its place." [Narrated by Nasa’i] In the chain is Khattab ibn al-Qasim and Khasaif. Ibn al-Qattan said, "Khattab is trustworthy," as stated by Ibn Ma’in and Abu Zur’ah. Abu Dawud, Yahya ibn Ma’in, Abu Zur’ah, and Al-‘Ijli said, "Khasaif is trustworthy." Ibn Ma’in said, "He is reliable," and also said, "There is no harm in him."
