(يُفْطَرُ الصَّائِمُ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ الإِفْطَارِ)
(Fast should be broken as soon as time for Iftar comes)
Hadith 1989
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: أَحَبُّ عِبَادِي إِلَيَّ أَعْجَلُهُمْ فطرا . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ
He reported God’s messenger as stating that God Most High has said, “Those of my servants who are quickest in breaking their fast are dearest to me.” Tirmidhi transmitted it.
