Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 22, Hadith 191

It was narrated from Hani bin ‘Abdullah bin Ash-Shikhkhir from Balharish, from a man from Balharish, that his father said: “we had been travelijng for as long as Allah willed, then we came to the Messenger of Allah and he was eating. He said: ‘Come and eat.’ I said: ‘I am fasting.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I will tell you about fasting. Allah has waived fasting and half of the prayer for the traveler.”‘

أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلاَّمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، مِنْ بَلْحَرِيشٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُسَافِرُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَطْعَمُ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ هَلُمَّ فَاطْعَمْ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ عَنِ الصِّيَامِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَضَعَ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ الصَّوْمَ وَشَطْرَ الصَّلاَةِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 22, Hadith 191

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Sunan an-Nasa’i is a cornerstone of hadith literature, meticulously compiled by the celebrated Islamic scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i in the 9th century. It is irrevocably positioned as one of the six most important collections, the Kutub al-Sittah, that underpin Sunni Islamic law and belief. The work contains a substantial body of over 5,700 narrations that record the sayings, actions, and tacit approvals of the Prophet Muhammad. Al-Nasa’i’s approach was defined by a rigorous and critical methodology that privileged authentic transmissions and deliberately filtered out weaker ones. This unwavering commitment to quality has established the Sunan as a profoundly reliable and authoritative source.
