It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once there was a hailstorm in (Madina Munawwara). On that day, Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) was fasting. He began to pick up the hailstones and eat them. Someone said to him, "Are you eating this while fasting?" He replied, "This is a blessing."
