Sahih Muslim Hadith 2669 – Whoever Eats On

English

[26691 136 – (1136) It was narrated that Ar-Rubayy' bint Mu'âwwidh bin 'Afrâ' said: "On the morning of 'Ashi2râ', the Messenger of Allah sent word to the villages of the Anâr around Al-Madinah, saying: 'Whoever started the day fasting, let him complete his fast, and whoever started the day not fasting, let him complete the rest of the day (without food)." "After that, we used to fast on this day, and we would make our children fast too, even the little ones if Allah wills. And we used to take them to the Masjid. We would make them toys out of wool, and if one of them cried for food, we would give (that toy) to him until it was time to break the fast."
