Hadith 2043
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلابَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ وَهُوَ يَتَغَدَّى , فَقَالَ : " ادْنُهْ " . قَالَ : إِنِّي صَائِمٌ . فَقَالَ : " ادْنُهْ أُحَدِّثْكَ عَنِ الصِّيَامِ , إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ الصِّيَامَ وَشَطْرَ الصَّلاةِ , وَعَنِ الْحُبْلَى أَوِ الْمُرْضِعِ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ هُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was eating food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come near to the food." He replied, "I am fasting." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come near to the food (and eat), I will tell you about fasting. Indeed, Allah Almighty has excused the traveler from fasting and half of the prayer, and has also excused fasting for the pregnant and breastfeeding woman." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Anas bin Malik Ansari referred to here is a member of the family of Abdullah bin Malik (not the special servant of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him).
