It is narrated from a Companion that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed the people to break their fast, saying: "Gain strength for your enemy." However, the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself kept the fast. The narrator says: I saw the Prophet (peace be upon him) at the place of ‘Arj pouring water over his head due to thirst or heat. During this time, someone informed him: "O Messenger of Allah! When the people saw you fasting, they also kept the fast." So, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) reached the place of Kudayd, he asked for a bowl of water, drank from it, and the people also broke their fast.
