Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 9183 — Those who considered it recommended

The father of Ibrahim al-Taymi said: In Ramadan I set out with Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) to al-Mada'in. When the dawn rose he said, "Has any of you eaten or drunk anything?" We said, "Those who intend to fast have not eaten or drunk anything." Then we travelled on until we felt he was late with the prayer; then he dismounted and prayed.
