Sunan an-Nasai 2258 (Book 22, Hadith 169) #16869
Fasting While Travelling

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised a man who was fasting while travelling to take advantage of the concession Allah has granted and not fast.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated that: the Messenger of Allah passed by a man in the shade of a tree on whom water was being sprinkled. He said: "What is the matter with your companion?" They said: "O Messenger of Allah, he is fasting". He said: "It is not righteousness to fast when traveling. Take to the concession which Allah has granted you, accept it".
أَخْبَرَنِي شُعَيْبُ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِرَجُلٍ فِي ظِلِّ شَجَرَةٍ يُرَشُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا بَالُ صَاحِبِكُمْ هَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَ الْبِرِّ أَنْ تَصُومُوا فِي السَّفَرِ وَعَلَيْكُمْ بِرُخْصَةِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي رَخَّصَ لَكُمْ فَاقْبَلُوهَا
