حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی وَأَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ وَإِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ يَحْيَی قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا أَدْرِي مِنْ قَوْلِ مَنْ هُوَ يَعْنِي وَکَانَ يُؤْخَذُ بِالْآخِرِ مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2605
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) went out during the month of Ramadan in the year of Victory (when Mecca was conquered) and was fasting till he reached Kadid (a canal situated at a distance of forty-two miles from Mecca) and he then broke the fast. And it was the habit of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to follow him in every new thing (or act). So they followed him also (in this matter).
