[Machine] From a companion of the Prophet ﷺ, it is narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted during a journey in the year of victory, and he ordered his companions to break their fast. He said, "Verily, you will encounter an enemy, so strengthen yourselves." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, the people have already observed their fast because of your fasting." When he reached the outskirts of Kadeed, he broke his fast. The one who narrated it said, "I indeed saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pouring water over his head due to the heat while he was fasting."  

أحمد:١٦٦٠٢حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ

عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَامَ فِي سَفَرٍ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ وَأَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ بِالْإِفْطَارِ وَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَلْقَوْنَ عَدُوًّا لَكُمْ فَتَقَوَّوْا فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَامُوا لِصِيَامِكَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى الْكَدِيدَ أَفْطَرَ قَالَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُبُّ الْمَاءَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنَ الْحَرِّ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ

malik:18-24Mālik > Suma a freed slave of Abū Bakr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman > Abū Bakr b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman

Yahya related to me from Malik from Sumayy, the mawla of Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman, from Abu Bakr ibn Abd ar-Rahman from one of the companions of the Messenger of Allah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered everyone to break the fast on the journey he made in the year of the conquest saying, "Be strong for your enemy," while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept on fasting. Abu Bakr said that the one who related this to him said, "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pouring water over his head at al-Arj, either from thirst or from the heat. Then some one said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ 'Messenger of Allah, a group of people kept on fasting when you did.' Then when the Messenger of Allah was at al-Kadid, he asked for a drinking-bowl and drank, and everyone broke the fast."

Narrated AbuBakr: A man who narrated his tradition to me said: I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in al-Arj pouring water over his head while he was fasting, either because of thirst or because of heat.
