Yahya ibn Yahya and Muhammad ibn Rumh narrated to me; they said: Layth informed us. (Another chain:) Qutaybah ibn Sa'id narrated to us; Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Ubayd Allah ibn Abd Allah ibn Utbah, from Ibn Abbas — may Allah be pleased with them both — that he was told that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, set out in the year of the Conquest during Ramadan, and he fasted until he reached al-Kadid, then he broke his fast. And the companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to follow the most recent of his commands, one after another.
