Abu Dawood
Sahih (Al-Albani)
حَدَّثَنَا مَخْلَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ ‏‏ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيَطْعَمْ وَإِنْ كَانَ صَائِمًا فَلْيَدْعُ ‏"‏ ‏‏
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Ibn "Umar to the same effect through a different chain of narrators. This version has the additional words:
If he is not fasting, he should eat, and if he is fasting, he should leave it.
