قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ، قَالَ:
مَطَرَتِ السَّمَاءُ بَرَدًا، فَقَالَ لَنَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ ؓ وَنَحْنُ غِلْمَانٌ: نَاوِلْنِي يَا أَنَسُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْبَرَدِ، فَنَاوَلْتُهُ، فَجَعَلَ يَأْكُلُ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، فَقُلْتُ: أَلَسْتَ صَائِمًا ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى، إِنَّ ذَا لَيْسَ بِطَعَامٍ وَلَا شَرَابٍ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بَرَكَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، نُطَهِّرُ بِهِ بُطُونَنَا. قَالَ أَنَسٌ ؓ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: خُذْ عَنْ عَمِّكَ

✧ The sky rained hail, and Abu Talhah ؓ said to us while we were boys: Hand me some of that hail, O Anas. So I handed it to him, and he began eating while fasting. I said: Are you not fasting? He said: Yes, but this is not food or drink; it is only a blessing from the sky with which we cleanse our stomachs. Anas ؓ said: I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him, and he said: Take from your uncle.
