He came to the Prophet ﷺ in Madinah while he was having his midday meal. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Come and join me for the meal."He replied, "I am fasting."The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Allah has lifted from the traveler the obligation of fasting and half of the prayer, and from the pregnant and nursing woman as well."
أنه أتى النبي ﷺ بالمدينة وهو يتغدى. فقال له النبي ﷺ: هلم إلى الغداء. فقال: إني صائم. فقال له النبي ﷺ: إن الله عز وجل وضع للمسافر الصوم، وشطر الصلاة، وعن الحبلى والمرضع.
Narrated by Nasai (2315) and Bayhaqi (4/231), both from the hadith of Wahib, from Abdullah bin Sawada Qushayri, from his father, from Anas bin Malik, a man from among them (he is not the servant of the Prophet ﷺ), and he related the hadith. Its isnad is hasan. Wahib is Ibn Khalid bin Ajlan, one of the men of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim). Sawada, the father of Abdullah, is Ibn Hanzala Qushayri, one of the men of Muslim. Abu Hatim said of him, "A shaykh."Abu Hilal Rasibi differed with him, relating it from Abdullah bin Sawada, from Anas bin Malik Kabi Qushayri, without mentioning "from his father" in it. From this route it was recorded by Abu Dawud (2408), Tirmidhi (715), Ibn Majah (1667), Ahmad (19047), Ibn Khuzayma (2044), and Bayhaqi. Its wording is, "The horsemen of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raided us, so I came - or I went - to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was eating, and he said, 'Come near and eat.' I said, 'I am fasting.' He said, 'Sit, let me tell you about fasting,' or 'about the fasting person,'" and he related the hadith. He said, "By Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ indeed said both of them, or one of them, so how I regret that I did not eat from the food of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."Its isnad is hasan, for Abu Hilal is Muhammad bin Sulaym, concerning whom there is disagreement, though his hadith is hasan. Abdullah bin Sawada narrated from Anas, just as he narrated from his father, from Anas, and both are preserved. The hadith has other routes besides this, but what I have mentioned is the most sahih of them.It has also been narrated from Abu Umaya, as Tirmidhi said, but it is not sahih from him. Fasawi ruled in "Tarikh" (2/468) that it is disturbed (mudtarib). Abu Hatim favored the view that it is from Abu Qilaba, from Anas bin Malik Kabi. See "Ilal" (1/158). And he says in another place, "The sahih view is what Ayub Sakhtiyani says, from Abu Qilaba, from Anas bin Malik Qushayri," "Ilal" (1/266).Tirmidhi said, "The hadith of Anas bin Malik Kabi is a hasan hadith, and we do not know of Anas bin Malik, this one, narrating from the Prophet ﷺ anything other than this single hadith, and the practice among the people of knowledge is according to this. Some of the people of knowledge said, 'The pregnant woman and the nursing mother break their fast and make it up.' This is the view of Sufyan, Malik, Shafii, and Ahmad. Others said, 'They break their fast and feed the poor, and there is no making up owed by them, though if they wish they may make it up, and there is no feeding owed by them in that case.' This is the view of Ishaq." End.
