Sunan an-Nasai 2303 (Book 22, Hadith 214) #16914
Fasting While Travelling

SUMMARY: It is permissible to not fast while travelling, but it is also acceptable to fast if one wishes.

It was narrated from Hamzah bin 'Amr that he said to the Messenger of Allah: "I feel able to fast while traveling; is there any sin on me?" He said: "It is a concession from Allah, the mighty and sublime, so whoever accepts it has done well, and whoever wants to fast, there is no sin on him".
أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَمْرٌو، وَذَكَرَ، آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُرَاوِحٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَجِدُ فِيَّ قُوَّةً عَلَى الصِّيَامِ فِي السَّفَرِ فَهَلْ عَلَىَّ جُنَاحٌ قَالَ ‏ "‏ هِيَ رُخْصَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَمَنْ أَخَذَ بِهَا فَحَسَنٌ وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَصُومَ فَلاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Hamzah bin 'Amr speaks of the permissibility of not fasting while travelling. This concession from Allah is a mercy for those who are travelling and may be too exhausted or busy to fast. However, if one wishes to fast while travelling, there is no sin on them either. This hadith teaches us that Allah has given us concessions in certain situations and we should accept them with gratitude and appreciation. At the same time, it also encourages us to strive for excellence in our worship even when we are facing difficulty or hardship.
