[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the year of the conquest, and a man came by who had fasted eighteen or seventeen days of the month of Ramadan. He was feeling weak and exhausted. So, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He breaks his fast and so does the one who compels [others to fast]."
