Ibn `Abbas said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) fought the Ghazwa (i.e. battles of Al-Fath during Ramadan."
Narrated Az-Zuhri: Ibn Al-Musaiyab (also) said the same. Ibn `Abbas added, "The Prophet (ﷺ) fasted and
when he reached Al-Kadid, a place where there is water between Kudaid and 'Usfan, he broke his fast
and did not fast afterwards till the whole month had passed away.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad saying, "Proceed till you reach Rawdat Khakh
where there is a lady carrying a letter, and take that (letter) from her." So we proceeded on our way
with our horses galloping till we reached the Rawda, and there we found the lady and said to her,
"Take out the letter." She said, "I have no letter." We said, "Take out the letter, or else we will take off
your clothes." So she took it out of her braid, and we brought the letter to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . The letter
was addressed from Hatib, bin Abi Balta'a to some pagans of Mecca, telling them about what Allah's
Apostle intended to do. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib! What is this?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's
Apostle! Do not make a hasty decision about me. I was a person not belonging to Quraish but I was an
ally to them from outside and had no blood relation with them, and all the Emigrants who were with
you, have got their kinsmen (in Mecca) who can protect their families and properties. So I liked to do
them a favor so that they might protect my relatives as I have no blood relation with them. I did not do
this to renegade from my religion (i.e. Islam) nor did I do it to choose Heathenism after Islam."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to his companions." As regards him, he (i.e. Hatib) has told you the truth." `Umar
said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He (i.e.
Hatib) has witnessed the Badr battle (i.e. fought in it) and what could tell you, perhaps Allah looked at
those who witnessed Badr and said, "O the people of Badr (i.e. Badr Muslim warriors), do what you
like, for I have forgiven you. "Then Allah revealed the Sura:--
"O you who believe! Take not my enemies And your enemies as friends offering them (Your) love
even though they have disbelieved in that Truth (i.e. Allah, Prophet Muhammad and this Quran)
which has come to you ....(to the end of Verse)....(And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then
indeed he has gone (far) astray (away) from the Straight Path." (60.1

The Prophet (ﷺ) left Medina (for Mecca) in the company of ten-thousand (Muslim warriors) in (the month
of) Ramadan, and that was eight and a half years after his migration to Medina. He and the Muslims
who were with him, proceeded on their way to Mecca. He was fasting and they were fasting, but when
they reached a place called Al-Kadid which was a place of water between 'Usfan and Kudaid, he
broke his fast and so did they. (Az-Zuhri said, "One should take the last action of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and
leave his early action (while taking a verdict.")
