Al-Washsha’ narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman, who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s): "A man from among my companions has sent me news that he is coming from Al-A‘was, and this is during the Month of Ramadan. Should I go to meet him and break my fast?" Imam (a.s) replied: "Yes." I asked: "Should I go to meet him and break my fast, or should I stay and continue fasting?" Imam (a.s) said: "Go to meet him and break your fast."
