Ayesha reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came by once and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"Ayesha replied, "I have nothing."He said, "Then I am fasting."Later he came by again, and by then someone had given us a gift of hays, so I brought it out and he ate from it. I was surprised at this and said, "Messenger of Allah, you came in earlier fasting, and now you have eaten hays?"He said, "Yes, Ayesha. The one who fasts outside of Ramadan, not as a make-up for Ramadan but as a voluntary fast, is like a man who sets aside charity from his wealth. He gives away whatever portion of it he wishes and lets that go through, and he holds back whatever remains and keeps it for himself."

Hasan

أخبرنا أبو داود قال حدثنا يزيد أنبأنا شريك عن طلحة بن يحيى بن طلحة عن مجاهد

عن عائشة قالت

دار علي رسول الله ﷺ دورة قال أعندك شيء قالت ليس عندي شيء قال فأنا صائم قالت ثم دار علي الثانية وقد أهدي لنا حيس فجئت به فأكل فعجبت منه فقلت يا رسول الله دخلت علي وأنت صائم ثم أكلت حيسا قال نعم يا عائشة إنما منزلة من صام في غير رمضان أو غير قضاء رمضان أو في التطوع بمنزلة رجل أخرج صدقة ماله فجاد منها بما شاء فأمضاه وبخل منها بما بقي فأمسكه
