As for what this actor said to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he commanded him to fast as a means of expiation, that is, it was characterized by the quality of the truth, for fasting is for him, so he said, “From fasting, he came upon me.” The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, laughed. His laughter was a sign of the lightness of the matter, and when he knew that the truth spoke to him, and he did not want that. The speaker, even if the Bedouin was ignorant of that, is as if he had said to him in his saying, “Disbelieve through fasting,” meaning, “Be truthful,” so he said, “Whoever says the truth has come upon me, for since I was truthful, the obligation was removed from me, for the truth is not burdened.” So why did you keep me as truth? He sent me down to slavery, so he made it obligatory for the expiation, which is concealment, meaning, do not mention that you You disobeyed me
