Sahih al-Bukhari 1661 (Book 25, Hadith 142) #1593
The Prophet's Fasting on 'Arafat Day

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet (ﷺ) (pbuh) drinking milk on the day of 'Arafat, and how some people disagreed about whether he was fasting or not.

Narrated Um Al-Fadl bint Al Harith: On the day of 'Arafat, some people who were with me, differed about the fasting of the Prophet (pbuh) some said that he was fasting while others said that he was not fasting. So I sent a bowl full of milk to him while he was riding his camel, and he drank that milk.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ، مَوْلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ، أَنَّ نَاسًا، اخْتَلَفُوا عِنْدَهَا يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ فِي صَوْمِ النَّبِيِّ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ هُوَ صَائِمٌ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَيْسَ بِصَائِمٍ‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ وَهْوَ وَاقِفٌ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَشَرِبَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of 'Arafa, some people who were with Um al-Fadl bint al-Harith noticed that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was either fasting or not. To settle this dispute, she sent a bowl full of milk to him while he was riding his camel and he drank it. This hadith teaches us that we should always be respectful towards our elders and those in authority. We should also strive to resolve disputes peacefully instead of arguing with each other. Furthermore, it shows us that even though fasting is important during Ramadan and other religious occasions such as 'Arafa Day, there are times when exceptions can be made for health reasons or other valid reasons.
