ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الصَّوْمَ وَالْإِفْطَارِ جَمِيعًا فِي السَّفَرِ طَلْقٌ مُبَاحٌ

We travelled along with the Prophet ﷺ during Ramadan. Some of us were fasting and other broke their fast. Those who fasted did not find fault with those who broke, and those who broke their fast did not find fault with those who fasted. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2405)   

ابن حبّان:٣٥٦١أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السَّامِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْمَقَابِرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي رَمَضَانَ وَصَامَ صَائِمُنَا وَأَفْطَرَ مُفْطِرُنَا فَلَمْ يَعِبِ الصَّائِمُ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ وَلَا الْمُفْطِرُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ
