Narrated Anas: We travelled along with the Prophet ﷺ during Ramadan. Some of us were fasting and other broke their fast. Those who fasted did not find fault with those who broke, and those who broke their fast did not find fault with those who fasted.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا زَائِدَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَصَامَ بَعْضُنَا وَأَفْطَرَ بَعْضُنَا."فَلَمْ يَعِبْ الصَّائِمُ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ وَلَا الْمُفْطِرُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ".

Narrated Qazaah: I came to Abu Saeed al-Khudri while he was giving his legal opinion to the people who bent down on him. So I waited to see hi when he was alone. When he became alone, I asked him about keeping fast while travelling. He said: we went out along with the Prophet ﷺ in Ramadan in the year of conquest of Makkah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted and we fasted until he reached a certain stage. He said: You have come near your enemy; the breaking of fast will bring you more strength. Then morning came when some of us fasted and other broke their fast. He (Abu Saeed al-Khudri) said: We then proceeded and alighted at a stage. He said: You are going to attack your enemy tomorrow morning ; breaking the fast will bring you more strength ; so break your fast (i. e. do not keep fast). This resolution (of breaking the fast) took place (due to the announcement) from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Saeed said: Then I found myself keeping fast along with the Prophet ﷺ before and after that.

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ saw a man who had been put in the shade and saw a crowd of people around him (in the course of a journey). He said: Fasting while on journey is not part of righteousness.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man from Banu Abdullah ibn Kab brethren of Banu Qushayr (not Anas ibn Malik, the well-known Companion), said: A contingent from the cavalry of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raided us. I reached (for he said went) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was taking his meals. He said: Sit down, and take some from this meal of ours. I said: I am fasting, he said: Sit down, I shall tell you about prayer and fasting. Allah has remitted half the prayer to a traveller, and fasting to the traveller, the woman who is suckling an infant and the woman who is pregnant, I swear by Allah, he mentioned both (i. e. suckling and pregnant women) or one of them. I was grieved for not taking the food of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

Narrated Dihyah: Mansur al-Kalbi said: Dihyah ibn Khalifah once went out from a village of Damascus at as much distance as it measures between Aqabah and al-Fustat during Ramadan; and that is three miles. He then broke his fast and the people broke their fast along with him. But some of them disliked to break their fast. When he came back to his village, he said: I swear by Allah, today I witnessed a thing of which I could not even think to see. The people detested the way of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions. He said this to those who fasted. At this moment he said: O Allah, make me die.

Nafi said: Ibn Umar used to go out to al-Ghabah (jungle), but he neither broke his fast, nor shortened his prayer.
