Hadith 252
465- وبه: عن عائشة زوج النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم أن حمزة بن عمرو الأسلمي قال لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: أأصوم فى السفر؟ وكان كثير الصيام، فقال له النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم: ”إن شئت فصم، وإن شئت فأفطر .“
It is narrated from the wife of the Prophet, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that Hamza bin Amr Al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah! I fast regularly. Should I fast while traveling as well?" He used to fast frequently. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him: "If you wish, then fast, and if you wish, then break your fast."
