حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ سِمَاكَ بْنَ حَرْبٍ يَقُولُ أَحَدُ ابْنَىْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ حَدَّثَنِي فَلَقِيتُ، أَنَا أَفْضَلَهُمَا، وَكَانَ، اسْمُهُ جَعْدَةَ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ هَانِئٍ جَدَّتَهُ فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ جَدَّتِهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَدَعَى بِشَرَابٍ فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَهَا فَشَرِبَتْ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَا إِنِّي كُنْتُ صَائِمَةً ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الصَّائِمُ الْمُتَطَوِّعُ أَمِينُ نَفْسِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ صَامَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَفْطَرَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَأَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ قَالَ لاَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو صَالِحٍ وَأَهْلُنَا عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ ‏.‏ وَرَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ فَقَالَ عَنْ هَارُونَ ابْنِ بِنْتِ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ ‏.‏ وَرِوَايَةُ شُعْبَةَ أَحْسَنُ ‏.‏ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمِينُ نَفْسِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنَا غَيْرُ مَحْمُودٍ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَمِيرُ نَفْسِهِ أَوْ أَمِينُ نَفْسِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ عَلَى الشَّكِّ وَهَكَذَا رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ ‏"‏ أَمِينُ أَوْ أَمِيرُ نَفْسِهِ ‏"‏ عَلَى الشَّكِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدِيثُ أُمِّ هَانِئٍ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَقَالٌ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ أَنَّ الصَّائِمَ الْمُتَطَوِّعَ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ فَلاَ قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُحِبَّ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ ‏.‏

Mahmud bin Ghaylan narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Shu'bah narrated to us, saying: I used to hear Simak bin Harb say, ‘One of the two sons of Umm Hani' narrated to me.’ I met the better known of them, whose name was Ja'dah; Umm Hani' was his grandmother. He narrated to me from his grandmother that the Messenger of Allah came to her and asked for a drink. He drank, then passed it to her and she drank. She said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I had been fasting.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘A person observing a voluntary fast is in charge of himself: if he wishes, he may fast, and if he wishes, he may break the fast.’ Shu'bah said: I asked Ja'dah, ‘Did you hear this from Umm Hani'?’ He said, ‘No. Abu Salih and my family informed me about it from Umm Hani'.’ Hammad bin Salamah also narrated this from Simak bin Harb, identifying the narrator as Harun, Umm Hani's grandson. Shu'bah's version is better. Mahmud bin Ghaylan narrated it from Abu Dawud with the wording ‘in charge of himself’; others narrated from Abu Dawud, uncertain between ‘in charge’ and ‘guardian of himself.’ This uncertainty is also reported through other routes from Shu'bah. Abu 'Isa said: There is criticism of the chain of the hadith of Umm Hani'. Some scholars among the Companions and others held that if a person breaks a voluntary fast, no make-up is due unless he chooses to make it up. This was the view of Sufyan Ath-Thawri, Ahmad, Ishaq, and Ash-Shafi'i.
