٣٠۔٤٣ باب مَتَى يَحِلُّ فِطْرُ الصَّائِمِ

[Machine] Abu Sa'id al-Khudri broke his fast when the sun disappeared.

وَأَفْطَرَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ حِينَ غَابَ قُرْصُ الشَّمْسِ.

bukhari:1954al-Ḥumaydī > Sufyān > Hishām b. ʿUrwah from my father > ʿĀṣim b. ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb from his father

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast."  

البخاري:١٩٥٤حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ اللَّيْلُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَأَدْبَرَ النَّهَارُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا وَغَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ  

Hastening to break the fast when the night falls toward the west

bukhari:1955Isḥāq al-Wāsiṭī > Khālid > al-Shaybānī > ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Awfá

We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and he was fasting, and when the sun set, he addressed somebody, "O so-and-so, get up and mix Sawiq with water for us." He replied, "O Allah's Apostle! (Will you wait) till it is evening?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Get down and mix Sawiq with water for us." He replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! (If you wait) till it is evening." The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Get down and mix Sawiq with water for us." He replied, "It is still daytime."(1) The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Get down and mix Sawiq with water for us." He got down and mixed Sawiq for them. The Prophet ﷺ drank it and then said, "When you see night falling from this side, the fasting person should break his fast."  

البخاري:١٩٥٥حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الْوَاسِطِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ؓ قَالَ

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ فَلَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ الْقَوْمِ يَا فُلاَنُ قُمْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَمْسَيْتَ قَالَ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَوْ أَمْسَيْتَ قَالَ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا قَالَ إِنَّ عَلَيْكَ نَهَارًا قَالَ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا فَنَزَلَ فَجَدَحَ لَهُمْ فَشَرِبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اللَّيْلَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ
