[Machine] I heard Abdullah ibn Abi Aufa saying, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when he said to a man, 'Descend and milk (your camel).' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the sun has set.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'Descend and milk (your camel).' The man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, the sun has set.' Then he said again, 'Descend and milk (your camel).' So the man descended and milked (his camel) and the Prophet ﷺ drank. Then he said, 'When you see the night has come from this direction,' and he pointed with his hand towards the horizon, 'the one who is fasting should break his fast.' Abu Abdur-Rahman said, 'This hadith is narrated by Asim ibn Umar and the hadith of Ibn Abi Aufa are both authentic.'"

We were in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. He said to a man, "Get down and mix Sawiq (powdered barley) with water for me." The man said, "The sun (has not set yet), O Messenger of Allah ﷺ." The Prophet ﷺ again said to him, "Get down and mix Sawiq with water for me." The man again said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! The sun!" The Prophet ﷺ said to him (for the third time) "Get down and mix Sawiq with water for me." The man dismounted and mixed Sawiq with water for him. The Prophet ﷺ drank it and then beckoned with his hand (towards the East) and said, "When you see the night falling from this side, then a fasting person should break his fast."

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."

We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey. When the sun sank he said to a person: Get down and prepare barley meal for us. Upon this he said: Messenger of Allah, let there be dusk. (He the Holy Prophet) said: Get down and prepare barley meal for us. He (the person) said: There is still (the light of) day upon us. (But) he got down (in obedience to the command of the Holy Prophet) and prepared a barley meal for him and he (the Holy Prophet) drank that (liquid meal) and then said: When you see the night approaching from that side (west) (and he pointed towards the east with his hand), then the observer of the fast should break it.

We went along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was fasting. When the sun set, he said to Bilal: Bilal, come down and prepare barley beverage for us. He said: Messenger of Allah, would that you waited for the evening. He said: Come down and prepare barley beverage for us. He said: Messenger of Allah, the say still remains on you (i.e. there remains the brightness of the day). He said: Come down and prepare barley drink for us. So he came down and prepared barley drink. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drank it and said: When you see that the night approaches from this side, he who fasts has reached the time to break it ; and he pointed to the east with his finger.

[Machine] Abdullah Ibn Abi Awfa heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "We were on a journey with the Prophet ﷺ when he said to a man, 'Go down and bring some water for us.' The man said, 'The sun, O Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Go down and bring some water for us.' The man said, 'The sun, O Messenger of Allah.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Go down and bring some water for us.' So, the man went down and brought some water and drank. Then he said, 'When you see that the night has come from here (one side) and the day has gone from here (the other side), then the fasting person should break his fast.'"
