English translation

2365. It was reported from Abū Bakr Ibn 'Abdur-Raḥmān, from someone from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ; "I saw the Prophet ﷺ ordering people, while traveling during the Year of the Conquest of Makkah, to break the fast. He said: 'Enerize for your enemy.' And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (himself) fasted." Abū Bakr said: "The one who narrated to me said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at Al-'Araj pouring water over his head while he was fasting, due to thirst or the heat.'" (Sahih)

2365 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَيٍّ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ فِي سَفَرِهِ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ بِالْفِطْرِ، وَقَالَ: «تَقَوَّوْا لِعَدُوِّكُمْ»، وَصَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: قَالَ: الَّذِي حَدَّثَنِي لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَرْجِ يَصُبُّ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ الْمَاءَ، وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ، أَوْ مِنَ الْحَرِّ
