It was narrated that 'Aishah said the Messenger of Allah would come and say:
Do you have any food for breakfast? and we would say no, so he would say: I am fasting. One day he came to us and we had been given some Hais. He said: Do you have anything (to eat)? and we said: Yes, we have been given some Hais. He said: I started the day wanting to fast, but then he ate.
