bayhaqi:8150Abū Bakr b. al-Ḥasan al-Ḥīrī Fī Ākharīn Qālūā

[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."  

البيهقي:٨١٥٠أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْحِيرِيُّ فِي آخَرِينَ قَالُوا

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

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."
