Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported: We went out on an expedition with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on the 16th of Ramadan. Some of us fasted and some of us broke the fast. But neither the observer of the fast found fault with one who broke it, nor the breaker of the fast found fault with one who observed it.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Qatada with the same chain of transmitters by different narrators (except this difference) that in the hadith transmitted by Taimi and Umar bin Amir and Hisham (the date of setting out is) 18th, and in the hadith transmitted by Sa'id it is the 12th, and in the one transmitted by Shu'bah it is the 17th or 19th.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported: We went out on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) during Ramadan and neither the observer of the fast was found fault with for his fasting, nor the breaker of the fast for breaking it.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported: We went out on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) during Ramadan. Some of us observed the fast and some of us broke it. Neither the observer of the fast had any grudge against one who broke it, nor the breaker of the fast had any grudge against one who had fasted. They knew that he who had strength enough (to bear its rigour) fasted and that was good, and they also found that he who felt weakness (and could not bear the burden) broke it, and that was also good.

Abu Nadra reported Abu Sa'id al. Khudri and Jabir bin'Abdullah (RA) as saying: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . The observer of the fast observed it, and the breaker of the fast broke it, but none of them found fault with each other.

Humaid reported that Anas (RA) was asked about fasting during Ramadan while travelling. He said: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) during the month of Ramadan, but neither the observer of the fast found fault with the breaker of the fast, nor the breaker of the fast found fault with the observer of the fast.

Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated from Humaid who said: I went out and was fasting; they said to me: Break (it go back, repeat). He said that Anas reported that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to set out on a journey and neither the observer of the fast found fault with the breaker of the fast, nor the breaker of the fast found fault with the observer of the fast. (One of the narrators Humaid said): I met Ibn Abi Mulaikahh who informed me the same thing on the authority of 'A'isha.

Anas (RA) reported: We were with the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on a journey. Some of us had been observing the fast and some of us had not been fasting. We got down at a place on a hot day. Most of us had the cloth for shelter. There were also those amongst us who sheltered themselves against the rays of the sun with the help of their hands. The observers of the fast fell down (on account of weakness). Those who had not observed it got up and pitched tents and watered the mounts. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The breakers of the fast have taken away the reward today.

Anas (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was journeying (along with his Companions). Some of them had observed the fast whereas the others had broken it. Those who did not fast girded up their loins and worked, but the observers of the fast were too weak to work. Upon this he (the Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )) said: Today the breakers of the fast have gone with the reward.

Qaza'a reported: I came to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) and he was surrounded (by people), and when they dispersed I said to him: I am not going to ask you about what these people were asking. I ask you about fasting on a journey. Upon this he said: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) towards Makkah and we had been observing fast. We halted at a place. There the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: You are nearing your enemy and breaking of fast would give you greater strength, and that was a concession (given to us). But some of us continued to observe the fast and some of us broke it. We then got down at another place and he (the Holy Prophet) said: You are going to encounter the enemy in the morning and breaking of the fast would give you strength, so break the fast. As it was a point of stress, so we broke the fast. But subsequently we saw ourselves observing the fast with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on a journey.
