حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِسَفَرِهِ وَاسْتَخْلَفَ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ أَبَا رُهْمٍ كُلْثُومَ بْنَ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ خَلَفٍ الْغِفَارِيَّ وَخَرَجَ لِعَشْرٍ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ فَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَصَامَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ بِالْكَدِيدِ مَاءٍ بَيْنَ عُسْفَانَ وَأَمْجٍ أَفْطَرَ ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِمَرِّ الظَّهْرَانِ فِي عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2392
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) said: Then the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)set out on his journey, and he appointed Abu Ruhm Kulthoom bin Husain bin 'Utbah bin Khalaf al-Ghifari in charge of Madinah. He set out on the tenth of Ramadan; the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) fasted and the people fasted, then when he was in al-Kadeed - an oasis between 'Usfan and Amaj - he broke his fast, then he continued on until he halted in Marraz-Zahran with ten thousand Muslims.
