Qaza'a reported:I came to Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) and he was surrounded (by people), and when they dispersed I said to him: I am not going to ask you about what these people were asking. I ask you about fasting on a journey. Upon this he said: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) towards Mecca and we had been observing fast. We halted at a place. There the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: You are nearing your enemy and breaking of fast would give you greater strength, and that was a concession (given to us). But some of us continued to observe the fast and some of us broke it. We then got down at another place and he (the Holy Prophet) said: You are going to encounter the enemy in the morning and breaking of the fast would give you strength, so break the fast. As it was a point of stress, so we broke the fast. But subsequently we saw ourselves observing the fast with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on a journey

حدثني محمد بن حاتم، حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي، عن معاوية بن صالح، عن ربيعة، قال حدثني قزعة، قال اتيت ابا سعيد الخدري - رضى الله عنه - وهو مكثور عليه فلما تفرق الناس عنه قلت اني لا اسالك عما يسالك هولاء عنه . سالته عن الصوم في السفر فقال سافرنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الى مكة ونحن صيام قال فنزلنا منزلا فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " انكم قد دنوتم من عدوكم والفطر اقوى لكم " . فكانت رخصة فمنا من صام ومنا من افطر ثم نزلنا منزلا اخر فقال " انكم مصبحو عدوكم والفطر اقوى لكم فافطروا " . وكانت عزمة فافطرنا ثم قال لقد رايتنا نصوم مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بعد ذلك في السفر
