Hadith 3830

عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، وَنَحْنُ صِيَامٌ، قَالَ: فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ دَنَوْتُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ، فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً، فَمِنَّا مَنْ صَامَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَفْطَرَ، ثُمَّ نَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا آخَرَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ مُصَبِّحُو عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ فَأَفْطِرُوا، فَكَانَتْ عَزِيمَةً فَأَفْطَرْنَا، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نَصُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ))
Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We traveled towards Makkah Mukarramah in the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while we were fasting. We camped at a place, and there the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have come close to the enemy, and it is more beneficial for you not to fast." Since this was a concession, some of us kept the fast and some did not. After that, when we camped at another place, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: "In the morning you will attack the enemy, and it is more beneficial for you not to fast, so do not fast." This was a definite command from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so we all abandoned fasting. However, I saw that even after this, we, the companions, used to fast while traveling with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
