Fasting (Kitab Al-Siyam)

Dawud :: Book 13 : Hadith 2407

Narrated Dihyah:

Mansur al-Kalbi said: Dihyah ibn Khalifah once went out from a village of Damascus at as much distance as it measures between Aqabah and al-Fustat during Ramadan; and that is three miles. He then broke his fast and the people broke their fast along with him. But some of them disliked to break their fast. When he came back to his village, he said: I swear by Allah, today I witnessed a thing of which I could not even think to see. The people detested the way of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) and his Companions. He said this to those who fasted. At this moment he said: O Allah, make me die.
