سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الصَّائِمِ الْمُتَطَوِّعِ تَعْرِضُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ قَالَ هُوَ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْعَصْرِ وَ إِنْ مَكَثَ حَتَّى الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَوَى ذَلِكَ فَلَهُ أَنْ يَصُومَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ إِنْ شَاءَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Husayn Bin Usman, from Sama’at Bin Mihran, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the voluntary Fasts, a need presents itself to him. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He is with the choice what is between him and Al-Asr; and if he were to remain until Al-Asr, then he changes his mind, for him would be that he Fasts. So, if he does not happen to have that intention, so for him is that he Fasts that day, if he so desires to’.
