حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ مُضَرَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الأَشَجِّ عَنْ يَزِيدَ مَوْلَى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ كَانَ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنَّا أَنْ يُفْطِرَ وَيَفْتَدِىَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الآيَةُ الَّتِى بَعْدَهَا فَنَسَخَتْهَا. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَيَزِيدُ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِى عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ.
Salamah [Ibn-'Amr] Ibnul-Akwa' said, "When the Qur'ānic verse: And upon those who are able [to fast, but with hardship] - a ransom [as substitute] of feeding a poor person [each day] (2 [al-Baqarah]: 184) was revealed, those of us who opted not to fast would feed a poor person instead, until the next Qur'ānic verse (of the chapter) was revealed and superseded it (1)." Footnotes: (1) So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; (2 [al-Baqarah]: 185). After this verse was revealed it was no longer permissible to feed a poor person instead of fasting, when one is capable of fasting. Click on ḥadīth to read more
