Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: One of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prepared food. He invited the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his companions. When the food was brought, one of them withdrew. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him: "What happened to you?" He replied: I am fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to him: "Your brother has made arrangements for you and has prepared it, and now you say: I am fasting. Eat it, and fast another day in place of this fast."
