عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِسَفَرِهِ وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَبَا رُهْمٍ كُلْثُومَ بْنَ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ وَخَرَجَ لِعَشْرٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالْكَدِيدِ مَاءٍ بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَأَمْجٍ أَفْطَرَ ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ فِي عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that after this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey and appointed Sayyiduna Abu Ruhm Kulthum bin Husayn Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) as his deputy in Madinah Munawwarah. He began the journey on the tenth of Ramadan. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and all the companions were fasting. When they reached the place of Kudayd between ‘Usfan and Amj, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) broke his fast. After proceeding from there, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped at Mar al-Zahran. Ten thousand Muslims were accompanying the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on this journey.
