ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ بِأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ قَبُولَ رُخْصَةِ اللَّهِ لَهُ فِي طَاعَتِهِ، دُونَ التَّحَمُّلِ عَلَى النَّفْسِ مَا يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهَا حَمْلُهُ

the Messenger of Allah passed by a man in the shade of a tree on whom water was being sprinkled. He said: "What is the matter with your companion?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, he is fasting." He said: "It is not righteousness to fast when traveling. Take to the concession which Allah has granted you, accept it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2258)   

ابن حبّان:٣٥٥أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ خَلِيلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلًا فِي سَفَرٍ فِي ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ يَرْشَحُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ فقَالَ «مَا بَالُ صَاحِبِكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا صَائِمٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «لَيْسَ مِنَ الْبِرِّ الصِّيَامُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِرُخْصَةِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي رَخَّصَ لَكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوهَا»
