The answer

The narrated in this regard is what Muslim reported from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: "We were with the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, on a journey. Some of us were fasting and some were not. We stopped at a place on a hot day. The fasters collapsed, while those who were not fasting stood up, pitched tents, and watered the mounts. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 'Today, those who did not fast have taken the reward.'" This hadith indicates that taking the concession of not fasting during travel when there is hardship is better than fasting. As for the hadith mentioned (in the question), it has no origin.
