Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ وَأَبُو أَحْمَدَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَن أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَن الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ صَائِمًا فَحَضَرَ الْإِفْطَارُ فَنَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ لَيْلَتَهُ وَلَا يَوْمَهُ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَإِنَّ فُلَانًا الْأَنْصَارِيَّ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْإِفْطَارُ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ عِنْدَكِ مِنْ طَعَامٍ قَالَتْ لَا وَلَكِنْ أَنْطَلِقُ فَأَطْلُبُ لَكَ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنُهُ وَجَاءَتْ امْرَأَتُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قَالَتْ خَيْبَةٌ لَكَ فَأَصْبَحَ فَلَمَّا انْتَصَفَ النَّهَارُ غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ { أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيَامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنْ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ } قَالَ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ وَإِنَّ قَيْسَ بْنَ صِرْمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ جَاءَ فَنَامَ فَذَكَرَهُ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَن الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ كَانَ إِذَا نَامَ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي أَبِي قَيْسِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو

English Translation
Aswad ibn ʿĀmir and Abū Aḥmad narrated to us, saying: Isrāʾīl narrated to us, from Abū Isḥāq, from al-Barāʾ, who said: The Companions of Muḥammad ﷺ, if a man was fasting and the time for breaking the fast came but he fell asleep before eating, he would not eat that night or the next day until evening. A certain man from the Anṣār was fasting, and when the time for breaking the fast came, he went to his wife and said: "Do you have any food?" She said: "No, but let me go and find some for you." Sleep overcame him, and his wife returned. When she saw him, she said: "How unfortunate for you!" By the time midday came, he fainted. This was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ, so this verse was revealed: "It has been made permissible for you the night preceding fasting to go to your wives" to His saying: "until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct from the black thread" [al-Baqarah 2:187]. Abū Aḥmad said: Qays ibn Ṣirmah al-Anṣārī came and slept — and he mentioned it. Aḥmad ibn ʿAbd al-Malik narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us: Abū Isḥāq from al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib — that one of them, if he slept — and he mentioned something similar to the hadith of Isrāʾīl, except he said: It was revealed regarding Abū Qays ibn ʿAmr.
