Umm 'Umarah Al-Ansariyah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:
Once the Prophet ﷺ visited us and I served him some food. He ﷺ asked me to eat. I replied that I was observing (optional) fast. He ﷺ said, "When people eat by a person observing fast, the angels keep asking Allah's forgiveness for that person until they have had their fill."
[At-Tirmidhi].
وعن أم عمارة الأنصارية، رضي الله عنها أن النبي ﷺ دخل عليها فقدمت إليه طعامًا فقال " كلي" فقالت: إني صائمة، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: "إن الصائم تصلي عليه الملائكة إذا أكل عنده حتى يفرغوا" وربما قال: "حتى يشبعوا" ((رواه الترمذي وقال: حديث حسن)).

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ came to visit Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (May Allah be pleased with him) who presented bread and olive oil to him. The Prophet ﷺ ate it and said, "The observers of fast have broken their fast with you (this is the literal translation, but the meaning is: 'May Allah reward you for providing a fasting people with food to break their fast') the pious people have eat your food and the angels invoked blessings on you."
[Abu Dawud].
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه أن النبي ﷺ جاء إلى سعد بن عبادة رضي الله عنه فجاء بخبز وزيت، فأكل ثم قال النبي ﷺ: "أفطر عندكم الصائمون وأكل طعامكم الأبرار وصلت عليكم الملائكة". ((رواه أبو داود بإسناد صحيح)).
