لَا يُفْطِرْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ.
“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who because of forgetfulness eats and drinks and then remembers. He (the Imam) said, ‘His fast is not destroyed. It was something Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, granted him. He is required to complete his fast (of that day).”’
سَأَلْتُهُ[1] عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَامَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأَكَلَ وَ شَرِبَ نَاسِياً قَالَ يُتِمُّ صَوْمَهُ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاؤُهُ.
“I once asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who because of forgetfulness when fasting in the month of Ramadan eats and drinks. He (the Imam) said, ‘He is not required to complete its Qada’ (compensatory fast).”’
يُتِمُّ صَوْمَهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْءٌ أَطْعَمَهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who out of forgetfulness eats and drinks in the month of Ramadan, has said, ‘He completes his fast, it is only something Allah fed him.’”
