The Limit of Illness That Exempts One from Fasting

7ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ اشْتَكَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ رَحْمَةُ الله عَلَيْهَا عَيْنَهَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَنْ تُفْطِرَ وَقَالَ عَشَاءُ اللَّيْلِ لِعَيْنِكِ رَدِيٌّ.
7. Ahmad ibn Muhammad from has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Husayn ibn ‘Uthman from Sulayman ibn ‘Amr who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Once in the month of Ramadan ‘Umm Salamah complained of illness of her eyes. The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, commanded her to eat, saying, ‘Not to eat until supper can cause the demise of your eyes.’”
