Hadith 872
- " كان يفطر على رطبات قبل أن يصلي فإن لم يكن رطبات فعلى تمرات فإن لم يكن حسا حسوات من ماء ".
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to break his fast before performing the prayer with fresh dates; if there were no fresh dates, then with dry dates, and if there were none, then with a few sips of water.
