وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ، اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى - رضى الله عنه - يَقُولُ سِرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَلَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ " يَا فُلاَنُ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا " . مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مُسْهِرٍ وَعَبَّادِ بْنِ الْعَوَّامِ .

We travelled with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as he had been observing fast. When the sun sank he said: So and so, get down and prepare barley meal for us. The rest of the hadith is the same.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1101c
This narration states that Abdullah b. Abi Aufa travelled with the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was fasting. When the sun sank, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم told someone to get down and prepare barley meal. The translation then says the rest of the hadith is the same, so the lesson follows the earlier report: when the sun has set and night begins to come, the fasting person should break the fast. This hadith does not add a separate ruling, but it preserves the same event through another wording. It is especially useful for readers looking for the hadith about breaking fast after sunset during travel.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration supports the report of iftar after sunset during travel.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was fasting during the journey mentioned in the text.
- The central point remains breaking the fast when the proper sign arrives.
