2269. 'Amr bin Umayyah Ad-Damrî said: "I came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ from a journey and he said: 'Stay and have a meal to break the fast, O Abû Umayyah.' I said: 'I am fasting.' He said: 'Come close to me and I will tell you about the traveler. Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, has waived fasting and half of the prayer for him.'" (Sahîh)
