HASTENING TO BREAK THE FAST
Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “People will continue in goodness as long as they hasten to break their fast.”
{al-Bukhārī #1957}
Anas ibn Malik narrated: "The Messenger of ALLĀH ﷺ used to break his fast before praying ˹maghrib˺ with some 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 mouthfuls of water."
{Abu Dawūd #2356}
The scholars have mentioned some reasons why it is recommended to hasten to break the fast, including the following:
1 To be different from the Jews and Christians.
2 To follow the Sunnah.
3 It is kinder to the fasting person and gives him more strength for worship.
4 To hasten to eat that which ALLĀH has permitted to him, for ALLĀH is generous and the one who is generous likes to see people enjoying his generosity. So HE likes HIS slaves to hasten to enjoy that which ALLAH has permitted to them as soon as the sun sets.
