أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ كُرَاعَ الْغَمِيمِ ، قَالَ : فَصَامَ النَّاسُ وَهُمْ مُشَاةٌ وَرُكْبَانٌ ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّوْمُ ، إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُ ، فَدَعَا بِقَدَحٍ ، فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَى فِيهِ حَتَّى نَظَرَ النَّاسُ ، ثُمَّ شَرِبَ ، فَأَفْطَرَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ وَصَامَ بَعْضٌ ، فَقِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ صَامَ ، فَقَالَ : " أُولَئِكَ الْعُصَاةُ " ، وَاجْتَمَعَ الْمُشَاةُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ، فَقَالُوا : نَتَعَرَّضُ لِدَعَوَاتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدِ اشْتَدَّ السَّفَرُ ، وَطَالَتِ الْمَشَقَّةُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اسْتَعِينُوا بِالنَّسْلِ ، فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ عَلَيْكُمُ الأَرْضِ ، وَتَخِفُّونَ لَهُ " ، قَالَ : فَفَعَلْنَا ، فَخَفَفْنَا لَهُ .
Sayyiduna Imam Ja'far Sadiq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father (Imam Muhammad Baqir, may Allah be pleased with him) the statement of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): In the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out towards Makkah in the month of Ramadan. When he reached the place of "Kara' al-Ghim," the narrator states: The people were fasting, some were walking, and some were riding. It was submitted to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Fasting is causing hardship for the people, and they are waiting to see what you will do. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a bowl, raised it towards his mouth until the people saw it, and then he drank from it. After that, some people broke their fast, while others remained fasting. It was submitted to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Some people are still fasting. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those people are disobedient. Among the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), those who were walking gathered together. They said: We are seeking the supplications of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while the journey has become intense and the hardship prolonged. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Seek help by walking quickly, for it cuts off the marks of the earth; this will be easier for you. The narrator says: We did so, and it became easier for us.
