The grandmother of Habib bin Zaid, Sayyida Umm Ammarah bint Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her while she was fasting. She presented food to him, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come and eat." She replied that she was fasting. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When food is eaten in the presence of a fasting person, the angels pray for his forgiveness."

From the chain of narration of Ali bin Khushram, it is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Ammarah bint Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with her) similar to the above, and in it this addition is mentioned: "Until they finish eating, or they finish the food." Imam Shu'bah is in doubt as to which words were said.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm ‘Ammarah bint Ka‘b (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When those who are not fasting eat in the presence of a fasting person, the angels pray for him until the evening."
