714. Ma'mar bin Abī Huyaiyah narrated that he asked Ibn Al-Musaiyab about fasting on a journey, so he narrated to him that 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "We fought in two battles along with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ during Ramaḍān; the Day of Badr, and the Conquest (of Makkah), so we broke our fast during them." (Da'if)
(He said:) There is something on this topic from Abū Sa'eed.
Abū 'Eisā said: We do not know of the Hadīth of 'Umar except from this route. It has been reported from Abū Sa'eed that the Prophet ﷺ ordered the fast to be broken in a battle that he participated in, and similar to this has been reported from 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, saying that he permitted breaking the fast when meeting the enemy. And this is the view of some of the people of knowledge.

Commentary
At the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, as the Prophet ﷺ was yet at a little distance away from Makkah, he ﷺ broke the fast showing all the people; and he commanded everybody to break the fast due to the fear of combating the enemy, as it is mentioned manifestly in the upcoming chapters on Jihād.
