Jami at-Tirmidhi 715 (Book 8, Hadith 34) #26280
Exemptions from Fasting and Prayer

SUMMARY: Allah has made allowances for travelers, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers to not fast or to reduce their prayer time.

Anas bin Malik, a man from Banu Abdullah bin Ka'b said: "Some cavalry man of the Messenger of Allah came galloping upon us, so I came to the Messenger of Allah and found him having lunch. He said: "Come and eat". I said: 'I am fasting'. So he said: 'Come and I will narrate to you about the fast - or fasting. Indeed Allah Most High lifted (the fast and) half of the Salat from the traveler, and (He lifted) the fast - or fasting - from the pregnant person, or the breast-feeding person'. And by Allah! The Prophet said both of them or one of them. So woe to me! For I did not eat from the meal of the Prophet".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَيُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ أَغَارَتْ عَلَيْنَا خَيْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَتَغَدَّى فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ادْنُ فَكُلْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ ادْنُ أُحَدِّثْكَ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ أَوِ الصِّيَامِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَضَعَ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ الصَّوْمَ وَشَطْرَ الصَّلاَةِ وَعَنِ الْحَامِلِ أَوِ الْمُرْضِعِ الصَّوْمَ أَوِ الصِّيَامَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَالَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ كِلْتَيْهِمَا أَوْ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَيَا لَهْفَ نَفْسِي أَنْ لاَ أَكُونَ طَعِمْتُ مِنْ طَعَامِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْكَعْبِيِّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَلاَ نَعْرِفُ لأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ هَذَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ غَيْرَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ الْوَاحِدِ ‏.‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ الْحَامِلُ وَالْمُرْضِعُ تُفْطِرَانِ وَتَقْضِيَانِ وَتُطْعِمَانِ ‏.‏ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ وَمَالِكٌ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ تُفْطِرَانِ وَتُطْعِمَانِ وَلاَ قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَإِنْ شَاءَتَا قَضَتَا وَلاَ إِطْعَامَ عَلَيْهِمَا ‏.‏ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ إِسْحَاقُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the exemptions that Allah has given to travelers, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers when it comes to fasting and prayer. The narrator of this hadith is Anas bin Malik who was a man from Banu Abdullah bin Ka'b. He recounts how he visited the Prophet Muhammad while he was having lunch one day. When Anas told him that he was fasting, the Prophet told him about the exemptions that Allah has given for fasting and prayer in certain situations. For example, travelers are allowed to shorten their prayers or not fast at all while pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers are exempt from fasting altogether. This hadith teaches us that we should be mindful of our obligations as Muslims but also be aware of any allowances that have been granted by Allah in certain situations so we can take advantage of them if needed.
