Ramadan Hadiths On the authority of Jabir ibn 'Abdillah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was on a journey, and he saw a man around whom a crowd had gathered, with shade being provided over him. So he asked, "What is the matter with him?" They replied, "He is a fasting man." Whereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "It is not an act of righteousness to fast while traveling."
