Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has narrated from his ancestors who have said that Ali (a.s.), upon being asked about a fly entering the throat of a fasting person, said, ‘There is no Qada’ (compensatory fast) on him because it is not food.’” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/299))
