اُردوEn
عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الضَّبِّيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا أَفْطَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى تَمْرٍ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى مَاءٍ فَإِنَّهُ طَهُورٌ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ:) فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ طَهُورٌ (وَفِي لَفْظٍ آخَرَ) فَإِنَّ الْمَاءَ طَهُورٌ))
Sayyiduna Salman bin Amir Dhabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any of you breaks his fast, he should do so with dates; if dates are not available, then he should break his fast with water, for indeed it is purifying.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … However, this sequence is established from the practical Sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik radi Allahu anhu says: "The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would break his fast with fresh dates before performing the prayer; if there were no fresh dates, then with dry dates, and if there were none, he would take a few sips of water." (Sunan Arba‘ah, Sahihah: 2840)
