It was narrated that Anas [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “we were with the Prophet on a journey, and some of us were fasting and some were not. We made a stop on a hot day, and those of us who had the best shade were those who had garments with which to shade themselves, and some of us shielded themselves from the sun with their hands. Those who were fasting fell down (in exhaustion to rest). And those who were not setup the tents and watered the mounts. The messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ’Today those who are not fasting have taken all the reward.’”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى السَّفَرِ فَمِنَّا الصَّائِمُ وَمِنَّا الْمُفْطِرُ - قَالَ - فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلاً فِى يَوْمٍ حَارٍّ أَكْثَرُنَا ظِلاًّ صَاحِبُ الْكِسَاءِ وَمِنَّا مَنْ يَتَّقِى الشَّمْسَ بِيَدِهِ - قَالَ - فَسَقَطَ الصُّوَّامُ وَقَامَ الْمُفْطِرُونَ فَضَرَبُوا الأَبْنِيَةَ وَسَقَوُا الرِّكَابَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ذَهَبَ الْمُفْطِرُونَ الْيَوْمَ بِالأَجْرِ ».

It was narrated that Anas [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “The messenger of Allah was on a journey, and some people fasted and some did not. Those who were not fasting girded their loins and worked, but those who were fasting were too weak to do some of the work. He said concerning that: ‘Today those who are not fasting have taken all the reward.’”

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ مُوَرِّقٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى سَفَرٍ فَصَامَ بَعْضٌ وَأَفْطَرَ بَعْضٌ فَتَحَزَّمَ الْمُفْطِرُونَ وَعَمِلُوا وَضَعُفَ الصُّوَّامُ عَنْ بَعْضِ الْعَمَلِ - قَالَ - فَقَالَ فِى ذَلِكَ « ذَهَبَ الْمُفْطِرُونَ الْيَوْمَ بِالأَجْرِ ».

It was narrated that Rabiah said: “Qaza’ah narrated to me: ‘I came to Abu Sa’eed Al-khudri [may Allah be pleased with them] while he was surrounded by people. When the people dispersed from around him, I said: “I am not going to ask youi about what these people were asking. And I asked him about fasting while travelling.” He said: “We travelled with the Messenger of Allah to Makkah when we were fasting. We made a stop and the Messenger of Allah said: ‘You have drawn near to your enemy and breaking the fast will make you stronger.’ This was a concession, so some of us fasted and some did not. Then we made another stop and he said: ‘In the morning you are going to meet your enemy. And breaking the fast will make you stronger, so break the fast. ’ He emphasized it (the second time), so we broke the fast.” Then he said: “I remember we fasted with the Messenger of Allah after that, when travelling.”

حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِىٍّ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى قَزَعَةُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِىَّ - رضى الله عنه - وَهُوَ مَكْثُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا تَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ قُلْتُ إِنِّى لاَ أَسْأَلُكَ عَمَّا يَسْأَلُكَ هَؤُلاَءِ عَنْهُ. سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ فِى السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَنَحْنُ صِيَامٌ قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ دَنَوْتُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ ». فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً فَمِنَّا مَنْ صَامَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَفْطَرَ ثُمَّ نَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلاً آخَرَ فَقَالَ « إِنَّكُمْ مُصَبِّحُو عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ فَأَفْطِرُوا ». وَكَانَتْ عَزْمَةً فَأَفْطَرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نَصُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِى السَّفَرِ.

It was narrated from Aishah [may Allah be pleased with her] that Hamzah bin Amr Al-Aslamiu asked the Prophet (SAW): “O Messenger of Allah, I am a man who fasts a great deal; may I fast when travelling?” He said: “Fast if you wish and do not fast if you wish.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ زَيْدٍ - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - رضى الله عنها - أَنَّ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الأَسْلَمِىَّ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى رَجُلٌ أَسْرُدُ الصَّوْمَ. أَفَأَصُومُ فِى السَّفَرِ قَالَ « صُمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ وَأَفْطِرْ إِنْ شِئْتَ ».

It was narrated from Hamzah bin Amr Al Aslmi [may Allah be pleased with them] that he said: “O Messenger of Allah (SAW), I find that I have the strength to fast when travelling; is there any sin on me for that?” The Messenger of Allah said: “It is a concession from Allah, so whoever avails himself of it has done well, and whoever wants to fast, there is no blame on him.”Harun said in his Hadith: “It is a concession,” but he did not say: “from Allah.”

وَحَدَّثَنِى أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِىُّ - قَالَ هَارُونُ حَدَّثَنَا وَقَالَ أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِى الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ أَبِى مُرَاوِحٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الأَسْلَمِىِّ - رضى الله عنه - أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَجِدُ بِى قُوَّةً عَلَى الصِّيَامِ فِى السَّفَرِ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ جُنَاحٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « هِىَ رُخْصَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهَا فَحَسَنٌ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ ». قَالَ هَارُونُ فِى حَدِيثِهِ « هِىَ رُخْصَةٌ ». وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مِنَ اللَّهِ.

It was narrated that Abu Ad-Darda [may Allah be pleased with them] said: “We set out with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) in the month of Ramadan, the intensity of the heat was so hot that one of us would lay his hand on his head because of the heat, and there was no one among us who was fasting apart from the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and Abdullah bin Rawahah”

حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنْ أَبِى الدَّرْدَاءِ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِى حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدُنَا لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ وَمَا فِينَا صَائِمٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ.

It was narrated that Umm Ad-Darda said: “Abu Ad-Darda said: ‘I remember that when we were with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) on one of his journeys on an intensely hot day, when a man would put his hand on his head because of the intense heat. Not one of us was fasting, apart from the Messenger of Allah and Abdullah bin Rawahah.’”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَيَّانَ الدِّمَشْقِىِّ عَنْ أُمِّ الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَتْ قَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فِى يَوْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ وَمَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ صَائِمٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ.

It was narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas, from umm al-Fadl bint Al-Harth:”Some people argued in her presence on the day of Arafah about the fasting of the Messenger of Allah (SAW). Some of them said that he was fasting, and some of them said that he was not fasting. I (Umm Al-Fadl) sent a vessel of milk while he was sitting on his camel (in the Mawaqif or place of standing at Arafah), and he drank it.”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِى النَّضْرِ عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ أَنَّ نَاسًا تَمَارَوْا عِنْدَهَا يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فِى صِيَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هُوَ صَائِمٌ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِصَائِمٍ. فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ بِعَرَفَةَ فَشَرِبَهُ.

Umair, the freed slave of Ibn Abbas [may Allah be pleased with them], narrated that he heard Umm Al-Fadl [may Allah be pleased with her] say: “Some of the companions of Messenger of Allah were unsure about the fasting on the Day of Arafah when we were there with the Messenger of Allah (SAW). I sent a wooden vessel of milk when he was at Arafat, and he drank it.”

وَحَدَّثَنِى هَارُونُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الأَيْلِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِى عَمْرٌو أَنَّ أَبَا النَّضْرِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ عُمَيْرًا مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ - رضى الله عنهما - حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أُمَّ الْفَضْلِ - رضى الله عنها - تَقُولُ شَكَّ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى صِيَامِ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ وَنَحْنُ بِهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَأَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِقَعْبٍ فِيهِ لَبَنٌ وَهُوَ بِعَرَفَةَ فَشَرِبَهُ.

It was narrated that Aishah [may Allah be pleased with her] said: “The Quraish used to fast on Ashura during the Jahiliyyah, and the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used fast on (that day) too. When he immigrated to Al-Madinah, he fasted this day and ordered that this fast be observed. When (fasting during) during the Month of Ramadan was enjoined, he said: ‘Whoever wishes may fast it (this day) and whoever wishes may forsake it.’”

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تَصُومُ عَاشُورَاءَ فِى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَصُومُهُ فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ صَامَهُ وَأَمَرَ بِصِيَامِهِ فَلَمَّا فُرِضَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ « مَنْ شَاءَ صَامَهُ وَمَنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَهُ ».
