[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when an elderly man asked him about the direction of qibla for a fasting person. The Prophet ﷺ allowed him to break his fast and then a young man asked him the same question about the direction of qibla for a fasting person, to which he forbid him. Some of the people looked at each other's faces, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, the elderly man has control over himself." Musa ibn Dawud added in his narration, "Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I know why some of you looked at each other. Indeed, the elderly man has control over himself.'"
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَأَلَهُ شَيْخٌ عَنِ الْقُبْلَةِ لِصَائِمٍ فَرَخَّصَ لَهُ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ عَنِ الْقُبْلَةِ لِلصَّائِمِ فَنَهَاهُ فَنَظَرَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ فِي وُجُوهِ بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ الشَّيْخَ يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ» زَادَ مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ لِمَ نَظَرَ بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ إِنَّ الشَّيْخَ يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ»
