Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (during a journey) reached a canal of rainwater, the heat was intense and the people were fasting and traveling on foot, however, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his mule. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! Drink water. But the people did not drink water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said again: I am not like you, I am the one among you with the most ease, I am riding. But the people persisted (in not breaking the fast). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) bent his thigh, dismounted, and drank water, and (seeing this scene) the people also drank water. In reality, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not intend to drink water.
