حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ وَالأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُقَبِّلُ وَيُبَاشِرُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ وَكَانَ أَمْلَكَكُمْ لإِرْبِهِ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو مَيْسَرَةَ اسْمُهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ. وَمَعْنَى لإِرْبِهِ لِنَفْسِهِ.
Āishah said, "The messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to kiss and fondle his wives while fasting, and he was the most capable among men of controlling his desire."(1) Footnotes: 1) This means that the physical contact did not lead to anything that breaks the fast. Other men may not have such control over their desire. Click on ḥadīth to read more

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ قَاعِدَةً عِنْدَ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُتِىَ بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِى فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّى أَذْنَبْتُ فَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِى. فَقَالَ وَمَاذَاكِ. قَالَتْ كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً فَأَفْطَرْتُ. فَقَالَ أَمِنْ قَضَاءٍ كُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ. قَالَتْ لاَ. قَالَ فَلاَ يَضُرُّكِ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِى سَعِيدٍ وَعَائِشَةَ.
Umm-Hāni' said, "I was sitting with the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, when a drink was brought to him. He drank from it then passed it to me and I drank. I then said, 'I have committed a sin, would you seek [God’s] forgiveness for me?'" "What have you done?" asked the Prophet. I replied, "I was fasting then ended my fast (i.e. before sunset)." He asked, "Were you fulfilling a compensatory fast? (1)" "No." I said. "Then, there is no harm done." said the Prophet. (2) Footnotes (1) When days during the obligatory Ramadān fast are missed with a legitimate excuse, they must be made up during the rest of the year as compensation. (2) i.e. You have not committed a sin, since it was a voluntary fast. Click on ḥadīth to read more

‘Ā'ishah, Mother of the Believers(1), said, "The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, used to come to me and ask, 'Do you have any food this morning?'

I replied, 'Dates mixed with butter and cream cheese.'
