English Translation
Dihyah ibn Khalifah went out from his village near Damascus — al-Mazzah — to the distance of the village of 'Uqbah during Ramadan, then he broke his fast, and the people broke their fast with him. Others disliked breaking their fast. When he returned to his village, he said: "By Allah, today I have seen something I never thought I would see — people who have turned away from the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and his Companions" — saying that about those who continued fasting. Then he said: "O Allah, take me to You."
