Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that at the place of Marr az-Zahran, food was presented to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): "Come close and eat the food." They said: "We are fasting." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O people! Give mounts to these companions of yours and do their share of the work as well."
