It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) traveled during the blessed month of Ramadan, and fasting became extremely difficult for one of his companions, so his mount kept going under the shade of trees again and again. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed about this, he ordered him to break his fast. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a vessel of water, placed it on his hand, and then drank from it while the people were watching.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) granted a concession in a certain matter, some people showed reluctance towards it. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "What is the matter with some people that when I command them regarding something, they show reluctance towards it? By Allah, I am the one who knows Allah the most among them and I am the one who fears Him the most among them."

Imam Abu Bakr, may Allah have mercy on him, says that the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id, may Allah be pleased with him, in which the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to a rainwater canal, also belongs to this category. In this narration, it is mentioned that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am not like you. I am riding on a mount and you are walking on foot; I am in more ease and comfort than you." This hadith indicates that in the beginning, the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, himself was fasting and ordered the companions to break their fast. Because he was on a mount and there was no hardship for him in fasting, and due to being mounted, he was free from the hardship of walking on foot, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the companions to break their fast because they were walking on foot, which made fasting very difficult for them. Therefore, when they did not break their fast despite the order of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he declared them disobedient. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, gave them this order after being informed that fasting had become difficult for them because, due to the lack of mounts, they were compelled to walk on foot.
