Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best pre-dawn meal (suhur) is dates." He also said: "May Allah Almighty have mercy on those who take the pre-dawn meal."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains Yazid bin Abd al-Malik al-Nawfali, who is da'if (weak).
