Silsilah as-Sahihah 834 — Fasting while traveling

Abu Zubair narrates from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was turning about restlessly. He asked about him. The companions said: O Messenger of Allah! He is fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called him and ordered him to break his fast and said: "Is it not sufficient for you that you are in the company of the Messenger of Allah and on the path of Allah, that you also began to fast?"
