It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that food was presented to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a place called Marr az-Zahran. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Farooq Azam (may Allah be pleased with him), "Come, eat food." Both of them submitted, "We are fasting." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) then said to the other companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "Prepare mounts for your two companions, work for your companions."
