Muwatta 837

Malik transmits from Zayd ibn Aslam, from his brother Khalid ibn Aslam, that Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) broke his fast one day in Ramadan on a cloudy day, thinking that evening had come and the sun had set. A man came and said: Commander of the Faithful, the sun has risen. Umar said: the matter is light, and we have striven. Malik said: Umar meant by 'the matter is light' the making up, in our view, because of its lightness and his wealth; he means: we fast a day in its place. The editor notes that Suwayd and al-Shafii transmitted the name Khalid ibn Aslam from Malik, that Abu Musab transmitted it from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from his father, and that al-Shaybani transmitted it with the wording from Zayd ibn Aslam that Umar. ¹
