أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ سَافَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَامَ بَعْضُنَا وَأَفْطَرَ بَعْضُنَا .

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 2311
This short Hadith from Jabir gives a clear picture of travel fasting practice. He said that they traveled with the Messenger of Allah, and some of them fasted while others did not. The text does not add blame, detail, or a ruling beyond that scene. Its value is in showing that both actions occurred among the companions during travel with the Prophet. For readers searching some fasted and some did not while traveling, this Hadith is direct and easy to understand. It supports the idea that travel fasting was not handled in only one way in that journey. It should be read as a concise report, not as a full list of every travel case.
What we learn from this hadith
- Some companions fasted during travel with the Prophet.
- Some companions did not fast during that travel.
- The narration records both actions without adding criticism.
