It is narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"Whoever eats or drinks forgetfully while he is fasting, let him complete his fast, for Allah has fed him and given him drink."

This Hadith is a beautiful manifestation of Allah's ease and mercy toward His servants. It clarifies that forgetfulness does not invalidate the fast, nor does it require a makeup day or penance. Instead, the unintended meal is described as a "hospitality" from Allah Himself. This teaching removes the burden of anxiety from the believer.
