CHAPTER: The Preference To Break The Fast (While On A Journey).
Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah: The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم saw a man who had been put in the shade and saw a crowd of people around him (in the course of a journey). He said: Fasting while on journey is not part of righteousness.
Narrated Anas ibn Malik: A man from Banu Abdullah ibn Kab brethren of Banu Qushayr (not Anas ibn Malik, the well-known Companion), said: A contingent from the cavalry of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم raided us. I reached (for he said went) to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم who was taking his meals. He said: Sit down, and take some from this meal of ours. I said: I am fasting, he said: Sit down, I shall tell you about prayer and fasting. Allah has remitted half the prayer to a traveller, and fasting to the traveller, the woman who is suckling an infant and the woman who is pregnant, I swear by Allah, he mentioned both (i. e. suckling and pregnant women) or one of them. I was grieved for not taking the food of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم.
