[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "People will continue to be in goodness as long as they hasten to break their fast."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا عَجَّلُوا الْفِطْرَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Religion will continue to prevail as long as people hasten to break the fast, because the Jews and the Christians delay doing so. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2353)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ الدِّينُ ظَاهِرًا مَا عَجَّلَ النَّاسُ الْفِطْرَ إِنَّ الْيَهُوَدَ وَالنَّصَارَى يُؤَخِّرُونَ  

the Messenger of Allah said: "Allah, Mighty and Sublime is He, said: 'Those of My worshippers who are most beloved to me are the quickest to break their fast.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 700)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ عِبَادِي إِلَيَّ أَعْجَلُهُمْ فِطْرًا  

[Machine] I and Masrooq entered upon Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and we said to her, "O Mother of the believers, there are two men among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ . One of them hastens for the prayer and hastens for iftar (breaking the fast), while the other delays the prayer and delays iftar." She said, "Which of them hastens for the prayer and hastens for iftar?" We replied, "Abdullah." She said, "This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do, and the other one is Abu Musa."  

دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَمَسْرُوقٌ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْنَا لَهَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَحَدُهُمَا يُعَجِّلُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُعَجِّلُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَالْآخَرُ يُؤَخِّرُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤَخِّرُ الْإِفْطَارَ قَالَتْ أَيُّهُمَا الَّذِي يُعَجِّلُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُعَجِّلُ الْإِفْطَارَ؟ قُلْنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَتْ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْآخَرُ أَبُو مُوسَى  

[Machine] We entered upon Aisha and said, "O mother of the believers, there are two men among the companions of the Prophet ﷺ . One of them hastens the breaking of the fast and delays the pre-dawn meal, and the other delays the breaking of the fast and hastens the pre-dawn meal." She said, "Who is this person who hastens the breaking of the fast and delays the pre-dawn meal?" We said, "Ibn Mas'ud." She said, "This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to do it, so do it accordingly."  

دَخَلْنَا عَلَى عَائِشَةَ فَقُلْنَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ فِينَا رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَيُعَجِّلُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَيُؤَخِّرُ السُّحُورَ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَيُؤَخِرُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَيُعَجِّلُ السُّحُورَ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يُعَجِّلُ الْإِفْطَارَ وَيُؤَخِّرُ السُّحُورَ؟ قُلْنَا ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَتْ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَهَكَذَا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When the night falls, the day retreats, and the sun sets, the fasting person has broken their fast."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ اللَّيْلُ وَأَدْبَرَ النَّهَارُ وَغَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ  

[Machine] "We had Suhoor with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , then he stood up for prayer. I asked, 'How much time was there between the Adhan (call to prayer) and Suhoor?' He replied, 'About the recitation of fifty verses.'"  

تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَبَيْنَ السُّحُورِ؟ قَالَ قَدْرُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً  

[Machine] "In the name of Allah, ﷺ , we, the prophets, were commanded to hasten our iftar (breaking of the fast) and delay our suhoor (pre-dawn meal), and to place our right hands over our left hands during prayer. This is a narration known from Talhah ibn 'Amr al-Makki, and it is considered weak and there is disagreement about it. Some said it was narrated from him in this way, while others said it was narrated from Ata' from Abu Hurairah and it was narrated from another weak source from Abu Hurairah and from a weak source from Ibn Umar. It was also narrated from Aisha, saying that there were three aspects of prophethood mentioned, and this is the most authentic narration of what was mentioned in it. It has already been mentioned in the book of prayer."  

اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُعَجِّلَ إِفْطَارَنَا وَنُؤَخِّرَ سُحُورَنَا وَنَضَعَ أَيْمَانَنَا عَلَى شَمَائِلِنَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ يُعْرَفُ بِطَلْحَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْمَكِّيِّ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ وَاخْتُلِفَ عَلَيْهِ فَقِيلَ عَنْهُ هَكَذَا وَقِيلَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَرُوِيَ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ ضَعِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَمِنْ وَجْهٍ ضَعِيفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَرُوِيَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ مِنْ قَوْلِهَا وَثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ فَذَكَرَهُنَّ وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ مَا وَرَدَ فِيهِ وَقَدْ مَضَى فِي كِتَابِ الصَّلَاةِ  

[Machine] Uthman and Ali used to pray the Maghrib prayer while looking at the dark night, then they would break their fast after the prayer. This was in Ramadan. Ash-Shafi'i said in Al-Mabsut that it seems they intentionally delayed breaking their fast because they preferred to leave it after it was permissible for them, and they became those who break their fast without eating or drinking. This is because fasting is not valid at night.  

وَعُثْمَانَ ؓ كَانَا يُصَلِّيَانِ الْمَغْرِبَ حِينَ يَنْظُرَانِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ الْأَسْوَدِ ثُمَّ يُفْطِرَانِ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ وَذَلِكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي الْمَبْسُوطِ كَأَنَّهُمَا يَرَيَانِ تَأْخِيرَ ذَلِكَ وَاسِعًا؛ لِأَنَّهُمَا يَعْمَدَانِ الْفَضْلَ لِتَرْكِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أُبِيحَ لَهُمَا وَصَارَا مُفْطِرَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ أَكْلٍ وَشُرْبٍ؛ لِأَنَّ الصَّوْمَ لَا يَصْلُحُ فِي اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] The companions of Muhammad ﷺ were the quickest in breaking their fast and the slowest in having their pre-dawn meal.  

كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَعْجَلَ النَّاسِ إِفْطَارًا وَأَبْطَأَهُمْ سُحُورًا
