Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us at the canal of rainwater: At that time, you were mounted on your mule and the people were fasting. You said: You people drink water. The people began to look towards the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You people drink water, because I am mounted, I am in an easier state than you, you people are walking on foot. The people again began to look towards the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) moved to his side. You drank water, so the people also drank water.
