حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِکٍ عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَی أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَکْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ فِي سَفَرِهِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ بِالْفِطْرِ وَقَالَ تَقَوَّوْا لِعَدُوِّکُمْ وَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ قَالَ الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ يَصُبُّ عَلَی رَأْسِهِ الْمَائَ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ مِنْ الْعَطَشِ أَوْ مِنْ الْحَرِّ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2365
Narrated A Companion of the Prophet: Abu Bakr ibn Abdur Rahman reported on the authority of a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ: I saw the Prophet ﷺ commanding the people while he was travelling on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah not to observe fast. He said: Be strong for your enemy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted himself. Narrated Abu Bakr: A man who narrated his tradition to me said: I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in al-Arj pouring water over his head while he was fasting, either because of thirst or because of heat.
