حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْفِرْيَابِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ الْمَدَنِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْأَسْلَمِيَّ يَذْكُرُ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي صَاحِبُ ظَهْرٍ أُعَالِجُهُ أُسَافِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَكْرِيهِ وَإِنَّهُ رُبَّمَا صَادَفَنِي هَذَا الشَّهْرُ يَعْنِي رَمَضَانَ وَأَنَا أَجِدُ الْقُوَّةَ وَأَنَا شَابٌّ فَأَجِدُ أَنْ أَصُومَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُؤَخِّرَهُ فَيَكُونَ دَيْنًا عَلَيَّ أَفَأَصُومُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَعْظَمُ لِأَجْرِي أَمْ أُفْطِرُ؟ فَقَالَ «أَيَّ ذَلِكَ شِئْتَ يَا حَمْزَةُ»

✧ I said: O Messenger of Allah, I am a man who owns riding camels; I work them, travel on them, and hire them out. Sometimes this month, meaning Ramadan, comes upon me while I find strength, and I am a young man. I find that fasting, O Messenger of Allah, is easier for me than postponing it so it becomes a debt upon me. Should I fast, O Messenger of Allah, for a greater reward, or break my fast? He said, “Whichever you wish, O Hamzah.”
