Jami at-Tirmidhi 713 (Book 8, Hadith 32) #26278
Respect for Differences in Religious Practices

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the importance of understanding and respecting the differences between people, even when it comes to religious practices.

Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri narrated: "We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah. Some of us were fasting and some of us broke their fast. The one who broke their fast had no objection to the one who fasted, and the one who fasted had no objection to the one who broke his fast. They saw that whoever had the strength to fast then that was good, and whoever was weak, then breaking it was better".
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَمِنَّا الصَّائِمُ وَمِنَّا الْمُفْطِرُ فَلاَ يَجِدُ الْمُفْطِرُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ وَلاَ الصَّائِمُ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ فَكَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَجَدَ قُوَّةً فَصَامَ فَحَسَنٌ وَمَنْ وَجَدَ ضَعْفًا فَأَفْطَرَ فَحَسَنٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of understanding and respecting differences between people, even when it comes to religious practices. The Prophet Muhammad was on a journey with his companions, some of whom were fasting while others were not. Despite this difference in practice, there was no objection from either side; those who fasted respected those who did not and vice versa. The hadith emphasizes that if someone has the strength to fast then that is good but if they are weak then breaking their fast is better. This teaches us that we should respect each other’s choices and understand that everyone has different levels of strength or weakness which can affect their ability to practice certain religious rituals. We should be tolerant towards one another’s differences instead of judging or criticizing them for their choices.
