It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) travelled in Ramadan, and the fast became very hard for one of his Companions, to the point that his mount began to wander aimlessly with him under a tree. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed about him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered him to break his fast. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a vessel of water, placed it on his hand, and drank in front of the people.
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

Details of the narration: Ahmad (22/ 14508) narrated through the chain of Husayn bin Waqid that Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a man who was tossing and turning (from weakness). He asked what this was. The people said: O Prophet of Allah, he is fasting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called him, ordered him to break his fast, and said: Is it not enough for you to be in the path of Allah and with the Messenger of Allah, that you must also fast! (that is, do not burden yourself with hardship on a journey)."
وأخرج أحمد 22/ (14508) من طريق حسين بن واقد، عن أبي الزبير قال: سمعت جابرًا يقول: مرَّ النبي ﷺ برجل يقلِّب ظهرَه لبطن، فسأل عنه، فقالوا: صائم يا نبي الله، فدعاه، وأمره أن يفطر فقال: "أما يكفيك في سبيل الله، ومع رسول الله، حتى تصوم! "
Reference / Source: Ahmad, al-Bukhari (1946), Muslim (1115), Abu Dawud and al-Nasa'i narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), on a journey, saw a crowd and a man who had been given shade. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What is this?" The people said, "He is fasting." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not righteousness to fast on a journey." This is the wording of al-Bukhari.
وأخرج أحمد 22/ (14193) و (14410) و (14426) و 23/ (15282)، والبخاري (1946)، ومسلم (1115)، وأبو داود (2407)، والنسائي (2582)، وابن حبان (3552) من طريق محمد بن عمر بن الحسن بن علي بن أبي طالب، عن جابر قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ في سفر، فرأى زحامًا ورجلًا قد ظُلِّل عليه، فقال: "ما هذا؟ " قالوا: صائم، فقال: "ليس من البر الصوم في ¤ ¤ السفر"، واللفظ للبخاري.

Reference / Source: Muslim (1114) and al-Tirmidhi (710) narrated that in the year of the Conquest the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Makkah; he (peace and blessings be upon him) was fasting until he reached "Kura' al-Ghamim", and the people were also fasting. It was said to him (peace and blessings be upon him) that the fast had become hard on the people and that they were waiting to see what he would do. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called for a cup of water and raised it so high that everyone could see, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) drank the water. Afterwards he was told that some people were still fasting, so he (peace and blessings be upon him) said (twice): "Those are the disobedient ones, those are the disobedient ones." This is the wording of Muslim.
وأخرج مسلم (1114)، والترمذي (710)، والنسائي (2583)، وابن حبان (2706) و (3549) و (3550) من طريق محمد بن علي الباقر، عن جابر بن عبد الله: أنَّ رسول الله ﷺ خرج عام الفتح إلى مكة في رمضان، فصام، حتى بلغ كُراع الغَميم، فصام الناس - وفي رواية: فقيل له: إنَّ الناس قد شقَّ عليهم الصيام، وإنما ينظرون فيما فعلت - ثم دعا بقدح من ماء فرفعه، حتى نظر الناس إليه، ثم شرب، فقيل له بعد ذلك: إنَّ بعض الناس قد صام، فقال: "أولئك العصاة، أولئك العصاة"، واللفظ لمسلم.
