7. Ṣawm (Fasting)
٧۔ كتاب الصيام
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted while he was traveling, and he broke his fast.”
صَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي السَّفَرِ وَأَفْطَرَ
“Hamzah Al-Aslami asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: ‘I am fasting, should I fast while traveling?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If you wish, then fast, and if you wish, then break your fast.’”
سَأَلَ حَمْزَةُ الأَسْلَمِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَصُومُ أَفَأَصُومُ فِي السَّفَرِ؟ فَقَالَ ﷺ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَصُمْ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَفْطِرْ
“We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on one of his journeys on a hot day, and it was extremely hot. A man would put his hand over his head because of the intense heat. No one among the people was fasting except for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and ‘Abdullah bin Rawahah.”
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْحَارِّالشَّدِيدِ الْحَرِّ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَضَعُ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِنْ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ وَمَا فِي الْقَوْمِ أَحَدٌ صَائِمٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ
