It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) vomited deliberately and then broke his fast. Ma’dan said: I met Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque of Damascus and mentioned this to him, so Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) has spoken the truth; I poured water for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
