11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ went out to Mecca during the year of the opening (of Mecca) in Ramadan, and he fasted until he reached the Kura'a al-Ghamim, and the people fasted with him. It was said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, the people have struggled with fasting.' So he called for a cup of water after Asr prayer, and he drank while the people were watching. Some of the people broke their fast and some continued fasting. It was then conveyed to him that some people had fasted, so he said, 'Those are the disobedient ones.' Abu Abdillah al-Hafith informed us, and Abu al-Fadl ibn Ibrahim al-Muzakki informed me, and Ahmad ibn Salamah informed us, and Qutaybah ibn Sa'id informed us, and Abdul Aziz mentioned it and added to the hadith, 'And they only watched what you did.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ كُرَاعَ الْغَمِيمِ وَصَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الصِّيَامُ فَدَعَا بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَشَرِبَ وَالنَّاسُ يَنْظُرُونَ فَأَفْطَرَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ وَصَامَ بَعْضٌ فَبَلَغَهُ أَنَّ نَاسًا صَامُوا فَقَالَ أُولَئِكَ الْعُصَاةُ 8147 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُزَكِّي ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ فَذَكَرَهُ بِمَعْنَاهُ وَزَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَإِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُونَ فِيمَا فَعَلْتَ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to set out for a military expedition on the night of the conquest, which took place during the last two nights of the month of Ramadan. So, we continued to fast until we reached Al-Kadid. Then, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to break our fast. The people became divided into two groups, the fasting group and the non-fasting group. When we reached a place where we were to encounter the enemy, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered us to break our fast. So, we all broke our fast. In another narration by Ibn Yusuf, when we reached Dhuhuran, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called us to meet the enemy and ordered us to break our fast. So, we all broke our fast.
أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالرَّحِيلِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فِي لَيْلَتَيْنِ خَلَتَا مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَخَرَجْنَا صُوَّامًا حَتَّى بَلَغْنَا الْكَدِيدَ فَأَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْفِطْرِ فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ شَرْجَيْنِ مِنْهُمُ الصَّائِمُ وَالْمُفْطِرُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْنَا الْمَنْزِلَ الَّذِي نَلْقَى الْعَدُوَّ فِيهِ أَمَرَنَا بِالْفِطْرِ فَأَفْطَرْنَا أَجْمَعِينَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ يُوسُفَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ الظَّهْرَانَ آذَنَنَا بِلِقَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ فَأَمَرَنَا بِالْفِطْرِ فَأَفْطَرْنَا أَجْمَعِينَ
I came to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) and he was surrounded (by people), and when they dispersed I said to him: I am not going to ask you about what these people were asking. I ask you about fasting on a journey. Upon this he said: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ towards Mecca and we had been observing fast. We halted at a place. There the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: You are nearing your enemy and breaking of fast would give you greater strength, and that was a concession (given to us). But some of us continued to observe the fast and some of us broke it. We then got down at another place and he (the Holy Prophet) said: You are going to encounter the enemy in the morning and breaking of the fast would give you strength, so break the fast. As it was a point of stress, so we broke the fast. But subsequently we saw ourselves observing the fast with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. (Using translation from Muslim 1120)
أَتَيْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ مَكْثُورٌ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا تَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لَا أَسْأَلُكَ عَمَّا سَأَلَكَ هَؤُلَاءِ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَقَالَ سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَنَحْنُ صِيَامٌ فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ دَنَوْتُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ فَكَانَتْ رُخْصَةً مِنَّا مَنْ صَامَ وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَفْطَرَ ثُمَّ نَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا آخَرَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ مُصَبِّحُوا عَدُوَّكُمْ وَالْفِطْرُ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ فَأَفْطِرُوا فَكَانَتْ عَزْمَةً فَأَفْطَرْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا نَصُومُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ
[Machine] Abu Al-Abbas Al-Asamm reported that Ar-Rabi'u reported that Ash-Shafi'i reported that Malik reported from Sumayy, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, who reported from Abu Bakr ibn Abdur-Rahman, who reported from some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , that the Prophet ﷺ commanded the people during his journey in the year of the conquest to break their fast and said, "Prepare yourselves for your enemy." The Prophet ﷺ then fasted. Abu Bakr, meaning Ibn Abdur-Rahman, said: "The one who informed me said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pour water over his head from a jug when he was thirsty or because of the heat, so it was said: 'O Messenger of Allah, some people are fasting when you are not fasting.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard this, he called for a vessel, drank from it, and the people broke their fast."
ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ أنبأ الرَّبِيعُ أنبأ الشَّافِعِيُّ أنبأ مَالِكٌ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ فِي سَفَرِهِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ بِالْفِطْرِ وَقَالَ تَقَوَّوْا لِعَدُوِّكُمْ وَصَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْعَرْجِ يَصُبُّ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ أَوْ مِنَ الْحَرِّ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ طَائِفَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ صَامُوا حِينَ صُمْتُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْكَدِيدِ دَعَا بِقَدَحٍ فَشَرِبَ فَأَفْطَرَ النَّاسُ
