Sunan an-Nasai 2275 (Book 22, Hadith 186) #16886
Waiving Half of Prayer and Fasting

SUMMARY: Allah has waived half of the prayer and fasting for travelers, pregnant women, and the sick.

It was narrated from Ayyub, from a Shailh of Qushair, from his paternal uncle; then we met him concerning some camels of his, and Bu Qilabah said to him: "Tell it to us". The old man said: "My paternal uncle told me that he went to the Prophet, concerning some camels of his, while he was eating. He said: 'Come and eat'. I said: 'I am fasting'. He said: 'Allah, the mighty and sublime, has waived half of the prayer and fasting for the traveler, the pregnant woman and the sick"'.
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ قُشَيْرٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا ثُمَّ، أَلْفَيْنَاهُ فِي إِبِلٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ حَدِّثْهُ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ فِي إِبِلٍ لَهُ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ أَوْ قَالَ يَطْعَمُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ادْنُ فَكُلْ أَوْ قَالَ ‏"‏ ادْنُ فَاطْعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَضَعَ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ شَطْرَ الصَّلاَةِ وَالصِّيَامَ وَعَنِ الْحَامِلِ وَالْمُرْضِعِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Allah's mercy towards travelers, pregnant women, and the sick people. It was narrated by Ayyub who heard it from a Shailh of Qushair who heard it from his paternal uncle. The old man went to Prophet Muhammad while he was eating and invited him to eat as well but he said that he was fasting so Prophet Muhammad told him that Allah has waived half of the prayer and fasting for travelers, pregnant women, and the sick people out of His mercy towards them. This hadith teaches us that Allah is merciful towards those who are in need or difficulty due to their circumstances such as traveling or being ill or pregnant which can be difficult at times so He has made things easier for them by waiving half their prayers or fastings if they are unable to fulfill them completely due to their conditions.
