1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ فَأَكَلَ وَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قَالَ لا يُفْطِرْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْ‏ءٌ رَزَقَهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَوْمَهُ.

He (the Imam) said, ‘His fast is not destroyed. It was something Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, granted him. He is required to complete his fast (of that day).”’
