Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ مَوْلَاةٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهَا لَيْلَى تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ جَدَّتِي وَهِيَ أُمُّ عُمَارَةَ بِنْتُ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَرَّبَتْ إِلَيْهِ طَعَامًا فَقَالَ لَهَا كُلِي فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي صَائِمَةٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى الصَّائِمِ إِذَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us, he said: Shu'bah narrated to us, from Habib, a man of the Ansar, from a freed slave woman of theirs called Layla, who narrated from my grandmother, and she is Umm Umarah bint Ka'b, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) entered upon her and she brought him food. He said to her: "Eat." She said: "I am fasting." He said: "Indeed, the angels send blessings upon the fasting person when food is eaten in their presence, until they finish."
