Al-Kāfi - The Book of Fasting

Chapter: Undesirability (unlawfulness) of Fast on a Journey َّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَ٠) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) خِيَارُ أُ٠َّتِي الَّذِينَ إِذَا سَافَرُوا أَفْطَرُوا وَقَصَّرُوا وَإِذَا أَحْسَنُوا اسْتَبْشَرُوا وَإِذَا أَسَاءُوا اسْتَغْفَرُوا وَشِرَارُ أُ٠َّتِي الَّذِينَ وُلِدُوا فِي النِّعَ٠ِ وَغُذُّوا بِهِ يَأْكُلُونَ طَيِّبَ الطَّعَا٠ِ وَيَلْبَسُونَ لَيِّنَ الثِّيَابِ وَإِذَا تَكَلَّ٠4.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Salih ibn Sa‘id from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has stated this Hadith: ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “The virtuous among my followers are those who, when on a journey, stop fasting and reduce their Salat (prayer), when receiving a favor they take it as good news and when doing a sin ask for forgiveness.

The evildoers among my followers are those who are born in bounties and feed on it, who eat fine food, wear soft clothes and when speaking do not tell the truth.’”” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (6/327))
