I said, "Messenger of Allah, I am a man who works with pack animals. I travel on them and rent them out, and sometimes this month, meaning Ramadan, comes upon me while I have the strength, being a young man, and I find it easier to fast than to delay it and have it become a debt upon me. So should I fast, Messenger of Allah, as that would be greater in reward for me, or should I break my fast?"He said, "Whichever of the two you wish, Hamza."
حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد النفيلي حدثنا محمد بن عبد المجيد المدني قال
قلت يا رسول الله إني صاحب ظهر أعالجه أسافر عليه وأكريه وإنه ربما صادفني هذا الشهر يعني رمضان وأنا أجد القوة وأنا شاب وأجد بأن أصوم يا رسول الله أهون علي من أن أؤخره فيكون دينا أفأصوم يا رسول الله أعظم لأجري أو أفطر قال أي ذلك شئت يا حمزة
