أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ الْخَيَّاطِ، وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ الصَّائِمُ فِي السَّفَرِ كَالْمُفْطِرِ فِي الْحَضَرِ .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2285
This Hadith is a short report about fasting while traveling, and the provided text marks it Daif. The wording says that the one who fasts during travel is like one who does not fast while resident. Because the narration is brief, the explanation should not add extra rulings or stories. It simply presents a strong comparison about travel fasting. In the wider batch, readers also see reports where the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم fasted during part of a journey and broke his fast later, and reports where a traveler was given a choice. So this specific narration should be treated as a weak report with its own wording, not as a full summary of every travel situation.
What we learn from this hadith
- The narration is marked Daif in the input.
- It speaks directly about fasting while traveling.
- The report uses a comparison rather than giving a travel story.
- The wording should not be stretched beyond what is stated.
