narrates:
I visited Ibraaheem ibn Haani whilst he was on his deathbed. [Whilst there] he called his son Ismaa’eel and said to him: ‘Has the sun set [yet]?’
He (Ismaa’eel) replied: ‘No.’
He then said: ‘O my father, [the likes of] you are permitted to break your fast [in such a severe situation, even] when the fast is obligatory, though your fast is [only] voluntary; Take it easy (don’t burden yourself).’
Then he (Abu Bakr an-Neesaabooree) said:
{For the like of this, let the workers work} – as-Saaffaat 37:61…and then his (Ibraaheem’s) soul departed.
