حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمُّ الدَّرْدَاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ ، قَالَ : " خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي بَعْضِ غَزَوَاتِهِ فِي حَرٍّ شَدِيدٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ أَحَدَنَا لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ أَوْ كَفَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ ، مَا فِينَا صَائِمٌ إِلَّا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ " .
Narrated Abu al-Darda: We went out along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for some battle in intense heat, so much so that one of us placed his hand on his head, or placed his palm on his head, due to intense heat, No one of us fasted except the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abdullah bin Rawahah.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
From this hadith, it is also established that both fasting and not fasting during travel are permissible, because the narration in Sahih Muslim indicates that the mentioned journey took place during the month of Ramadan. The words of the hadith are: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) for a journey during the month of Ramadan in intense heat. (Sahih Muslim, Kitab al-Siyam, Hadith: 2630(1122))
(2)
It should be clear that the mentioned journey was other than the Battle of Badr and the Conquest of Makkah, because Abdullah bin Rawahah (radi Allahu anhu) was martyred in the Battle of Mu'tah, and the Conquest of Makkah occurred after that. And it could not have been the Battle of Badr, because the narrator of the hadith, Abu Darda (radi Allahu anhu), had not yet embraced Islam at that time.
(3)
From this hadith, it is understood that if a person has the strength to fast during travel and does not experience any hardship, then there is no harm in fasting. (Fath al-Bari: 4/233)
(4)
This hadith also shows that if a person begins a journey while fasting in Ramadan, and later experiences difficulty, he may break his fast without hesitation; there is no harm in this.
