Narrated A Companion of the Prophet: Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman reported on the authority of a Companion of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم : I saw the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanding the people while he was travelling on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah not to observe fast. He said: Be strong for your enemy. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم fasted himself. Narrated Abu Bakr: A man who narrated his tradition to me said: I have seen the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in al-Arj pouring water over his head while he was fasting, either because of thirst or because of heat.

Narrated Qazaah: I came to Abu Saeed al-Khudri while he was giving his legal opinion to the people who bent down on him. So I waited to see hi when he was alone. When he became alone, I asked him about keeping fast while travelling. He said: we went out along with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم in Ramadan in the year of conquest of Makkah. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم fasted and we fasted until he reached a certain stage. He said: You have come near your enemy; the breaking of fast will bring you more strength. Then morning came when some of us fasted and other broke their fast. He (Abu Saeed al-Khudri) said: We then proceeded and alighted at a stage. He said: You are going to attack your enemy tomorrow morning ; breaking the fast will bring you more strength ; so break your fast (i. e. do not keep fast). This resolution (of breaking the fast) took place (due to the announcement) from the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم . Abu Saeed said: Then I found myself keeping fast along with the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم before and after that.
