أَخْبَرَنَاهُ ) أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُوسُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ الرَّازِيُّ، ثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ، قَالَ:
لَمْ يُطِقْ أَنَسٌ صَوْمَ رَمَضَانَ عَامَ تُوُفِّيَ، وَعَرَفَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ، فَسَأَلْتُ ابْنَهُ عُمَرَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ: مَا فَعَلَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ ؟ فَقَالَ: جَفَّنَّا لَهُ جِفَانًا مِنْ خُبْزٍ وَلَحْمٍ، فَأَطْعَمْنَا الْعِدَّةَ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ

Anas was unable to fast Ramadan in the year he died, and he knew that he would not be able to make it up. So I asked his son ʿUmar b. Anas: "What did Abū Ḥamzah do?" He said: "We prepared for him large bowls of bread and meat, and we fed the number of days, or more."
