حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ حَمَّادٍ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعْدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ الْکَلْبِيِّ أَنَّ دِحْيَةَ بْنَ خَلِيفَةَ خَرَجَ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ مَرَّةً إِلَی قَدْرِ قَرْيَةِ عُقْبَةَ مِنْ الْفُسْطَاطِ وَذَلِکَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَمْيَالٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَفْطَرَ وَأَفْطَرَ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ وَکَرِهَ آخَرُونَ أَنْ يُفْطِرُوا فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَی قَرْيَتِهِ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ الْيَوْمَ أَمْرًا مَا کُنْتُ أَظُنُّ أَنِّي أَرَاهُ إِنَّ قَوْمًا رَغِبُوا عَنْ هَدْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابِهِ يَقُولُ ذَلِکَ لِلَّذِينَ صَامُوا ثُمَّ قَالَ عِنْدَ ذَلِکَ اللَّهُمَّ اقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2413
Narrated Dihyah: Mansur al-Kalbi said: Dihyah ibn Khalifah once went out from a village of Damascus at as much distance as it measures between Aqabah and al-Fustat during Ramadan; and that is three miles. He then broke his fast and the people broke their fast along with him. But some of them disliked to break their fast. When he came back to his village, he said: I swear by Allah, today I witnessed a thing of which I could not even think to see. The people detested the way of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions. He said this to those who fasted. At this moment he said: O Allah, make me die.
