Sahih Muslim 1114a (Book 13, Hadith 116) #9755
Fasting During Travel in Ramadan

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions travelling to Mecca during Ramadan and how he reacted when he found out that some of them were still fasting.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with both of them) reported that Allah's Messenger went out to Mecca in Ramadan in the year of Victory, and he and the people fasted till he came to Kura' al-Ghamim and the people also fasted. He then called for a cup of water which he raised till the people saw it, and then he drank. He was told afterwards that some people had continued to fast, and he said: These people are the disobedient ones; these are the disobedient ones.
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ - حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - رضى الله عنهما - أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَرَجَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ حَتَّى بَلَغَ كُرَاعَ الْغَمِيمِ فَصَامَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِقَدَحٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَرَفَعَهُ حَتَّى نَظَرَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ بَعْضَ النَّاسِ قَدْ صَامَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ أُولَئِكَ الْعُصَاةُ أُولَئِكَ الْعُصَاةُ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow Islamic teachings while travelling during Ramadan .
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions were travelling to Mecca during the month of Ramadan, a holy month for Muslims where they fast from sunrise to sunset. When the Prophet arrived at Kura' al-Ghamim, he called for a cup of water which he raised so that everyone could see it before drinking it himself. He was then informed that some people had continued to fast despite being on a journey, and in response said "These people are the disobedient ones; these are the disobedient ones". This hadith teaches us that when we are travelling during Ramadan, we should not continue fasting as this is considered disobedience according to Islamic teachings. Instead, we should break our fast while on our journey and make up for those days later on after returning home.
