4. Book of Fasting
٤۔ كِتَابُ الصَّوْمِ
“Eat Suhur, for in Suhur there is a blessing.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1692)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَسَحَّرُوا فَإِنَّ فِي السُّحُورِ بَرَكَةً»
[Machine] "To prepare food for him, so that he could have his pre-dawn meal without being affected greatly by it. We said to him: 'Command us to prepare it for you and it will not affect you much.' He replied: 'I will not command you to do that, for I desire it, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'The difference between our fast and the fast of the people of the Book is eating a meal before dawn.'"
أَنْ نَصْنَعَ لَهُ الطَّعَامَ يَتَسَحَّرُ بِهِ فَلَا يُصِيبُ مِنْهُ كَثِيرًا فَقُلْنَا لَهُ تَأْمُرُنَا بِهِ وَلَا تُصِيبُ مِنْهُ كَثِيرًا؟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَا آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ أَنِّي أَشْتَهِيهِ وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ صِيَامِنَا وَصِيَامِ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَكْلَةُ السَّحَرِ»
