I fasted on Aashoora', but forgot during a moment of lunchtime rush - and ate a sandwich

Question

I fasted on Aashoora', but forgot during a moment of lunchtime rush - and ate a sandwich. Besides the lapse in memory, I had made my fasting intention and fasted all that day.

Was my fast accepted?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

The fast was valid. 

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
