حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَوْ مَعْنَاهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2351
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) left Madinah, heading for Makkah, and he fasted until he reached 'Usfan. Then he called for a vessel and took it in his hand so that the people could see him, then he broke his fast. And Ibn 'Abbas used to say: Whoever wants to may fast and whoever wants to may not fast.
