Hadith 48
The Book of Fasting
It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah said:
"It is not righteousness to fast when traveling. Take to the concession which Allah, the mighty and sublime, has granted you, accept it."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، رضى الله عنهما عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
لَيْسَ مِنَ الْبِرِّ الصِّيَامُ فِي السَّفَرِ عَلَيْكُمْ بِرُخْصَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَاقْبَلُوهَا
