حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ، وَوَهْبُ بْنُ بَيَانٍ ، الْمَعْنَى قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّهُ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ قَزَعَةَ ، قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ وَهُوَ يُفْتِي النَّاسَ وَهُمْ مُكِبُّونَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَانْتَظَرْتُ خَلْوَتَهُ . فَلَمَّا خَلَا سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ فِي السَّفَرِ . فَقَالَ : خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ . فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَصُومُ وَنَصُومُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مَنْزِلًا مِنَ الْمَنَازِلِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ دَنَوْتُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ " . فَأَصْبَحْنَا مِنَّا الصَّائِمُ وَمِنَّا الْمُفْطِرُ . قَالَ : ثُمَّ سِرْنَا فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّكُمْ تُصَبِّحُونَ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ ، فَأَفْطِرُوا " . فَكَانَتْ عَزِيمَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ . قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ : ثُمَّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَصُومُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَبَعْدَ ذَلِكَ .
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.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Fasting or not fasting during travel depends on each individual's circumstances and personal preference.
➋ The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) had a deep understanding of the true nature of the statements of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): which statement was merely an encouragement and which was a firm command (azimah). In matters of firm command (azimah), opposing the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is never permissible in any way. This is why it is said that deduction and ijtihad (independent juristic reasoning) is the work of well-grounded scholars. For legal verdicts (fatawa), one should refer only to those who possess a complete mastery of the understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Explanation:
1:
It is the name of a valley between Makkah and Usfan.
2:
If the mujahideen have reached such a place beyond which there is a fear of encountering the enemy, then in such a situation it is better to break the fast. And if it is certain that the enemy is present ahead for confrontation, then breaking the fast becomes necessary.
