حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَی مَکَّةَ حَتَّی بَلَغَ عُسْفَانَ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِإِنَائٍ فَرَفَعَهُ إِلَی فِيهِ لِيُرِيَهُ النَّاسَ وَذَلِکَ فِي رَمَضَانَ فَکَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ قَدْ صَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَفْطَرَ فَمَنْ شَائَ صَامَ وَمَنْ شَائَ أَفْطَرَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2404
Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ left Madina for Makkah till he reached 'Usfan, He then called for a vessel (of water). It was raised to his mouth to show it to the people, and that was in Ramadan. Ibn Abbas used to say: The Prophet ﷺ fasted and he broke his fast. He who likes may fast and he who likes may break.
