It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for the conquest of Makkah, it was the month of Ramadan. There were ten thousand Muslims accompanying him, and it had been eight and a half years since the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had come to Madinah Munawwarah. At the time of departure, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and all the Muslims were fasting, but when they reached the place of Kudayd, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) broke his fast.
