And Umm al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with her) said that Abu al-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) would ask her, "Do you have any food with you?" If we replied that there was nothing, he would say, "Then today I will fast." Similarly, Abu Talha, Abu Huraira, Ibn Abbas, and Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them) also did the same.

Narrated Salama bin Al-Akwa`: Once the Prophet ordered a person on 'Ashura' (the tenth of Muharram) to announce, "Whoever has eaten, should not eat any more, but fast, and who has not eaten should not eat, but complete his fast (till the end of the day).

Narrated `Aisha and Um Salama: At times Allah's Apostle used to get up in the morning in the state of Janaba after having sexual relations with his wives. He would then take a bath and fast.

And Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the private part of the wife is forbidden for the fasting person.

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet used to kiss and embrace (his wives) while he was fasting, and he had more power to control his desires than any of you. Said Jabir, "The person who gets discharge after casting a look (on his wife) should complete his fast."

And Jabir bin Zaid said: If a fasting person looked with desire and semen was emitted, then he should complete his fast.

Narrated Hisham's father: Aisha said, "Allah's Apostle used to kiss some of his wives while he was fasting," and then she smiled.

Narrated Zainab: (daughter of Um Salama) that her mother said, "While I was (lying) with Allah's Apostle underneath a woolen sheet, I got the menstruation, and then slipped away and put on the clothes (which I used to wear) in menses. He asked, "What is the matter? Did you get your menses?" I replied in the affirmative and then entered underneath that woolen sheet. I and Allah's Apostle used to take a bath from one water pot and he used to kiss me while he was fasting."

And Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) moistened a cloth and placed it on his body while he was fasting, and Sha’bi was fasting but went to the bathhouse (for bathing), and Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that there is no harm in tasting a pot or anything (by placing it on the tongue) to know its taste. Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there is no objection for the fasting person to rinse the mouth or to seek coolness, and Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when someone intends to fast, he should get up in the morning with oil applied and hair combed, and Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I have a «ابزن» (a stone basin) in which I immerse myself even though I am fasting. It is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he used the miswak while fasting, and Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that he used to use the miswak during the day, morning and evening (at all times), and the fasting person should not swallow saliva, and Ata’ (may Allah have mercy on him) said that if saliva comes out, I do not say that his fast is broken, and Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) said that there is no harm in using a wet miswak. Someone said that there is a taste in it, so he replied: Is there not a taste in water? Even though you rinse your mouth with it. Anas, Hasan, and Ibrahim said that it is permissible for the fasting person to apply kohl.
