We were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and when the sun set, he said to a man, "Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq for me." The man said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Will you wait till it is evening?" Messenger of Allah ﷺ again said, "Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq." The man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will you wait till it is evening, for it is still daytime. " The Prophet ﷺ again said, "Get down and prepare a drink of Sawiq." So the third time the man got down and prepared a drink of sawiq for him. Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank thereof and pointed with his hand towards the East, saying, "When you see the night falling from this side, then a fasting person should break his fast."
كُنَّا فِي سَفَرٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لِي قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَمْسَيْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَمْسَيْتَ إِنَّ عَلَيْكَ نَهَارًا ثُمَّ قَالَ انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ فَنَزَلَ فَجَدَحَ لَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَشَرِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْمَشْرِقِ فَقَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اللَّيْلَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ
