حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ أَبِي حُيَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الصَّوْمِ، فِي السَّفَرِ فَحَدَّثَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي رَمَضَانَ غَزْوَتَيْنِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَالْفَتْحِ فَأَفْطَرْنَا فِيهِمَا . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ عُمَرَ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِالْفِطْرِ فِي غَزْوَةٍ غَزَاهَا . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ نَحْوُ هَذَا أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي الإِفْطَارِ عِنْدَ لِقَاءِ الْعَدُوِّ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ .

When Ibn al-Musayyab was asked about fasting while traveling, he related that Umar ibn al-Khattab said: We took part in two campaigns with the Messenger of Allah during Ramadan, at Badr and at the Conquest, and we broke our fast during both. A report on this topic is also narrated from Abu Said. Abu Isa said: We know the report of Umar only through this route. It is also reported from Abu Said, from the Prophet, that he commanded breaking the fast during a campaign. Something similar is reported from Umar ibn al-Khattab: he allowed breaking the fast when facing the enemy. Some of the people of knowledge hold this view.
