He (MGB) said, ‘Have something to eat.’ I replied, ‘I am fasting.’ The Imam (MGB) said, ‘Why did you fast on this day?’ I said, ‘Because the Prophet (MGB) was born on this day.’ He (MGB) said, ‘You do not know on which day the Prophet (MGB) was born on. That is the day on which the Prophet (MGB) perished. Therefore, you should neither travel nor fast on that day.’”
