Hadith 25:492
Ubaydah narrated to us, Mansur narrated to me, from Mujahid, from Tawus, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) went out from Medina intending for Mecca, and he fasted until he reached Usfan.

He said: Ibn Abbas used to say: "Whoever wishes may fast, and whoever wishes may break his fast."
