Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 22, Hadith 192

It was narrated from Hani bin ‘Abdullah bin Shikhkhir that his father said: “I was traveling and I came to the Prophet when he was eating and I was fasting. He said: ‘Come and eat.’ I said: ‘I am fasting.’ He said: ‘Do you know what Allah has waived for the traveler?’ he said: ‘Do you know what Allah has waived for the traveler?’ I said: ‘What has Allah waived for the traveler?’ He said: ‘Fasting and half of the prayer.”‘

أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مُسَافِرًا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يَأْكُلُ وَأَنَا صَائِمٌ فَقَالَ ‏”‏ هَلُمَّ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ إِنِّي صَائِمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏”‏ أَتَدْرِي مَا وَضَعَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏ قُلْتُ وَمَا وَضَعَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُسَافِرِ قَالَ ‏”‏ الصَّوْمَ وَشَطْرَ الصَّلاَةِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 22, Hadith 192

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. Within the pantheon of Sunni Islamic hadith collections, the Sunan an-Nasa’i occupies a privileged position as one of the six canonical works. This impressive compilation was the achievement of the 9th century scholar Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i, who was renowned for his profound knowledge of prophetic traditions. The book assembles more than 5,700 narrations covering the full range of the Prophet’s Sunnah. Imam al-Nasa’i distinguished his work through a famously rigorous and selective process, choosing to include only those narrations that met his strict standards of authenticity while rejecting those that were dubious. This has resulted in a collection held in the highest regard for its accuracy.
