In the hadith [Indeed, Allah has pardoned my ummah for what their souls suggest to them], does this include the one who thinks and then eats during Ramadan?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It is reported in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Allah, the Most High, has forgiven my followers what they contemplate on within themselves (i.e. evil thoughts) as long as they do not act upon or speak about them.إن الله تجاوز عن أمتي ما حدثت به أنفسها ما لم تعمل أو تتكلم،
Bulugh al-Maram 8:133
He says: Does this include the one who thinks and then eats, such that it does not invalidate his fast and he is not held accountable?

Answer:
The discussion is about the dropping of the sin, not the dropping of the obligation. The obligation does not drop due to forgetfulness. If you forget the prayer, the sin drops from you, but the prayer must be performed. Likewise, fasting is something in your debt that does not drop due to forgetfulness. Yes.
