اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ الضَّمْرِيُّ ، قَالَ : قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ ، فَقَالَ : " انْتَظِرِ الْغَدَاءَ يَا أَبَا أُمَيَّةَ " , فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي صَائِمٌ , فَقَالَ : " تَعَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكَ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَضَعَ عَنْهُ الصِّيَامَ ، وَنِصْفَ الصَّلَاةِ " .
´'Amr bin Umayyah Ad-Damri said:` "I came to the Messenger of Allah from a journey and he said: 'Stay and have a meal to break the fast, O Abu Umayyah.' I said: 'I am fasting.' He said: 'Come close to me and I will tell you about the traveler. Allah, the mighty and sublime, has waived fasting and half of the prayer for him."'
Brief Explanation
1؎: That is, in the state of travel, it has not been made obligatory upon the traveler to fast; rather, he has been given the choice that if he wishes, he may fast (if he has the strength for it), or if he wishes, he may make up the same number of fasts on other days. However, fasting is not completely excused for the traveler; whereas, in the case of the four-unit (rak‘ah) prayer, two units have been excused—he may perform four units if he wishes, or two units if he wishes, and then there is no need to make up for it.
Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) The meaning of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is that Allah, the Exalted, has temporarily excused the obligatory fast from the traveler, so what then of the voluntary fasts—there is even more reason for exemption—therefore, you may eat. This does not mean that one should not observe voluntary fasts while traveling.
(2) “The fast and half the prayer.” However, there is a difference between the two. The obligatory fast must be made up later, and this is an agreed-upon issue. But the half of the prayer that is excused is permanently excused, meaning its make-up (qada) does not have to be performed.
(3) “Is excused.” But this does not mean that the traveler cannot fast or cannot perform the full prayer; rather, it is dependent on his own choice. This concession is in the sense of a dispensation (rukhsah).
(4) Not every prayer is excused by half, but only those prayers which are four units (rak‘ah): Dhuhr, ‘Asr, and ‘Isha. The other two prayers must be performed in full.
