Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

IFTAR (BREAKING THE FAST)

Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s Messenger as stating that ALLAAH most high has said, “Those, of my servants who are quickest in breaking their fast are dearest to me.” [Tirmizi]

Hadrat Salman bin Amir (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s Messenger as saying, when one of you breaks his fast he should do so with dates for they provide blessing; but if he cannot get any he should break his fast with water for it is purifying.” [Mishkat]

Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet used to break his fast before praying with fresh dates, but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates he took some mouthful of water. [Tirmizi, Mariful Hadis]

Hadrat Abdullah bin Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) told that the Prophet said when he broke his fast,

“Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist and the reward is sure, if ALLAAH will.” [Abu Dawud, Marif -ul- Hadis]

Hadrat Mu’az bin Zuhra (May ALLAAH bless him) narrated that when the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) broke (IFTAR) the fast he said:

O ALLAAH, for Thee I have fasted and with Thy provision I have broken my fast. [Abu Dawud]

Hadrat Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said: Not a single Salaah made by a fasting man at the time of breaking fast (Iftar) is rejected. [lbn Majah]
