Hadith 3729
اُردوEn
عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ مَوْلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ يَسْرُدُ الصَّوْمَ وَقَلَّمَا يُصِيبُ مِنَ الْعَشَاءِ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ أَكْثَرَ مَا كَانَ يُصِيبُ مِنَ السَّحَرِ، قَالَ: وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ فَصْلًا بَيْنَ صِيَامِنَا وَصِيَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَكْلَةُ السَّحَرِ))
Abu Qais narrates that Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to fast continuously, and he would rarely eat in the early part of the night; the reason for this was that he mostly ate at suhoor. I heard him say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The distinction between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is eating suhoor.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … It is understood that if one does not feel inclined to eat, even then one should consume a small amount of food and drink in order to act upon this command.
