Undesirability (unlawfulness) of Fast on a Journey

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سَمَّى رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَوْماً صَامُوا حِينَ أَفْطَرَ وَقَصَّرَ عُصَاةً وَقَالَ هُمُ الْعُصَاةُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّا لَنَعْرِفُ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَأَبْنَاءَ أَبْنَائِهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِنَا هَذَا.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, named a people ‘disobedient’ when they fasted when he stopped fasting and reduced his Salat (prayer).’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘They are disobedient till this day and will remain so till the Day of Judgment. I know their children and the children of their children up to this, our day.’”
