Jami at-Tirmidhi 714 (Book 8, Hadith 33) #26279
Fasting During Battle

SUMMARY: Umar bin Al-Khattab narrated that the Prophet Muhammad and his companions fought in two battles during Ramadan, so they broke their fast during them.

Ma'mar bin Abi Huyaiyah narrated that: he asked Ibn Al-Musaiyab about fasting on a journey, so he narrated to him that Umar bin Al-Khattab said: "We fought in two battles along with the Messenger of Allah during Ramadan; the Day of Badr, and the Conquest (of Makkah), so we broke our fast during them".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ أَبِي حُيَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ، فِي السَّفَرِ فَحَدَّثَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي رَمَضَانَ غَزْوَتَيْنِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَالْفَتْحِ فَأَفْطَرْنَا فِيهِمَا ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عُمَرَ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِالْفِطْرِ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ نَحْوُ هَذَا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي الإِفْطَارِ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Fast while travelling or fighting in battle with good intentions

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fasting during battle or travel. It was narrated by Ma'mar bin Abi Huyaiyah who asked Ibn Al-Musaiyab about fasting on a journey. Ibn Al-Musaiyab then told him that Umar bin Al-Khattab said that the Prophet Muhammad and his companions fought in two battles during the month of Ramadan, which were the Day of Badr and the Conquest of Makkah, so they broke their fast during them. This hadith teaches us that it is permissible to break one's fast while travelling or fighting in battle as long as it is done with good intentions. It also shows us how important it was for Muslims to fight for justice even if it meant breaking their fasts at times. We can learn from this hadith to be brave and courageous when faced with difficult situations, but also remember our religious obligations such as fasting even when we are travelling or fighting in battle.
