#1401 It was
narrated from Anas bin Malik that a man from the tribe of Banu
‘Abdul-Ashhal, while (one narrator) ‘Ali bin Muhammad said (he
was) a
man from the tribe of Banu ‘Abdullah bin Ka’b, said:
“The
cavalry of
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) attacked us, so I came to the
Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) while he was eating a meal. He said: ‘Come
and eat.’ I
said: ‘I am fasting.’ He said: ‘Sit down and I
will tell you about
fasting. Allah has relieved the traveler of half
of the prayer, and He
has relieved the traveler, the pregnant, and
the nursing mothers of
the duty to fast.’ By Allah, the Prophet
(ﷺ) said them, both, or one
of them, and now I feel so disappointed
that I had not eaten of the
food of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).”
