There is a lengthy hadith of Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), which has already been mentioned in Part No. 9, Hadith No. (31), and Page No. (239) in the chapter "The Conditions That Occurred Regarding Fasting." In it, it is stated: Then Allah the Exalted revealed this verse: {شَہْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِی … شَہِدَ مِنْکُمُ الشَّہْرَ فَلْیَصُمْہُ} (Surah Al-Baqarah: 185), meaning: "The month of Ramadan is that in which the Qur'an was revealed as guidance for the people and as clear proofs of guidance and criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you witnesses the month, let him fast it." Thus, Allah made fasting obligatory upon the healthy and resident person, and granted concession to the sick and the traveler, and for the elderly person who does not have the strength to fast, it was legislated to feed (a needy person).
