Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَوْلَاةً لَنَا يُقَالُ لَهَا لَيْلَى تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أُمِّ عُمَارَةَ بِنْتِ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَدَعَتْ لَهُ بِطَعَامٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا كُلِي فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي صَائِمَةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ الصَّائِمَ إِذَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يَفْرَغُوا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ حَتَّى يَقْضُوا أَكْلَهُمْ.
English Translation
Hashim ibn al-Qasim narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Habib al-Ansari, he said: I heard a freedwoman of ours called Layla narrate, from her grandmother Umm 'Umarah bint Ka'b, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entered upon her, and she called for food for him. He said to her: Eat. She said: I am fasting. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Indeed, when a fasting person has food eaten in his presence, the angels pray for him until they finish - and sometimes he said: until they complete their eating.
