´Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that` the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Madinah in the month of Ramadan with ten thousand companions (towards Makkah), and this incident took place eight and a half years after his arrival in Madinah. When the Muslims and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards Makkah, some companions along with him continued to fast. When they reached the place of Kudayd, which is a spring between ‘Usfan and Qudayd, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions broke their fast. (They did iftar.)
