Chapter: The Case of One Who Eats or Drinks but Has Doubts About Its Taking Place before or after Dawn َاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِ٠ِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) عَنْ رَجُلٍ خَرَجَ فِي شَهْرِ رَ٠َضَانَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ يَتَسَحَّرُونَ فِي بَيْتٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ وَنَادَاهُ٠ْ فَكَفَّ بَعْضُهُ٠ْ وَظَنَّ بَعْضُهُ٠ْ أَنَّهُ يَسْخَرُ فَأَكَلَ فَقَالَ يُتِ٠4.

Muhammad ibn ‘Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Is ibn al-Qasim who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who along with his friends go for Suhur (breakfast in the morning before dawn) in a house. He looks toward dawn and asks them to stop eating. Certain ones among them stop and others think that he is joking and he eats.

He (the Imam) said, ‘He completes that fast and makes its Qada’ (compensatory fast) also.’” جهول كالصحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/264))
