Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “This is about the case of a man who escorts his brother for a distance of one, two or three days’ journey. One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘If it is in the month of Ramadan, he must stop fasting.’ I then asked which is more virtuous, fasting or escorting. He (the Imam) said, ‘Escorting is more virtuous; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has exempted him from fasting.’”
