سنن نسائی · Hadith 2290

It was narrated that Ghailan said: “I went out with Aba Qilabah on a journey and he brought some food. I said: ‘I am fasting.’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم went out on a journey and brought some food, and said to a man: Come and eat. He said: I am fasting. He said: Allah has waived for the traveler half of the prayer and fasting when traveling, so come and eat. So I came close and ate.” (Sahih)
