Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) journeyed during the month of Ramadan in a state of fasting till he reached 'Usfan. He then ordered a cup containing drinking water and he drank that openly so that the people might see it, and broke the fast (and did not resume it) till he reached Mecca. Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) said:
Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) fasted and broke the fast, so he who wished fasted and he who wished to break it broke it.
