Hadith 11870

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ، قَالَ : " خَرَجْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَمَانِ عَشَرَ مَضَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَصَامَ صَائِمُونَ ، وَأَفْطَرَ مُفْطِرُونَ ، فَلَمْ يَعِبْ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ، وَلَا هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ " . قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : حَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَرْبَعَةٌ أَحَدُهُمْ قَتَادَةُ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثُ قَتَادَةَ .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that we set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Battle of Hunain on the seventeenth or eighteenth of Ramadan. Some of us kept fast and some did not, but neither the one who fasted found fault with the one who did not, nor did the one who did not fast find fault with the one who fasted. (This means that whoever had the strength to fast would do so, and whoever did not have the strength would leave it and make it up later.)
