Hadith 367
۞
Hadith.1938 - Sama'ah ibn Mihran asked Imam (as) about two men who rose to check for dawn. One of them said, "There it is," while the other said, "I do not see anything."
Imam (as) said: "The one who does not see the dawn clearly may eat and drink because Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'And eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread of dawn; then complete the fast until the night' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:187)."
Sama'ah also asked him about a man who ate and drank after dawn had risen in the Month of Ramadan.
Imam (as) said: "If he rose, looked, and did not see the dawn, then ate, and afterward checked again and saw the dawn, he should complete his fast, and there is no need for him to make it up. But if he rose, ate and drank without looking, and then saw that the dawn had already risen, he must complete his fast for that day and also make up another day, because he began eating without checking first, so making up the fast is obligatory upon him."
1938 - وَ سَأَلَهُ سَمَاعَةُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ : عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ قَامَا فَنَظَرَا إِلَى اَلْفَجْرِ فَقَالَ
أَحَدُهُمَا هُوَ ذَا وَ قَالَ اَلْآخَرُ مَا أَرَى شَيْئاً قَالَ «فَلْيَأْكُلِ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَبَيَّنْ لَهُ اَلْفَجْرُ وَ لْيَشْرَبْ لِأَنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ: « وَ كُلُوا وَ اِشْرَبُوا حَتّٰى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ اَلْخَيْطُ اَلْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ اَلْخَيْطِ اَلْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ اَلْفَجْرِ ثُمَّ أَتِمُّوا اَلصِّيٰامَ إِلَى اَللَّيْلِ » قَالَ سَمَاعَةُ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَكَلَ وَ شَرِبَ بَعْدَ مَا طَلَعَ اَلْفَجْرُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ قَامَ فَنَظَرَ فَلَمْ يَرَ اَلْفَجْرَ فَأَكَلَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ اَلنَّظَرَ فَرَأَى اَلْفَجْرَ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ وَ لاَ إِعَادَةَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَامَ فَأَكَلَ وَ شَرِبَ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى اَلْفَجْرِ فَرَآهُ قَدْ طَلَعَ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ يَقْضِي يَوْماً آخَرَ لِأَنَّهُ بَدَأَ بِالْأَكْلِ قَبْلَ اَلنَّظَرِ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْإِعَادَةُ».
