Sunnah and Du’aa During Breaking the Fast – Dr Zakir Naik
RDDZ-8-9
Yusuf Chambers: What did the Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) prefer to eat breaking his fast?
Dr. Zakir: Its mentioned in a Hadith of Sunan Abu Dawud in the Book of Fating Hadith no. 2349
“Its mentioned that Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) when he used to break his fast he used to have fresh dates, its known as ‘Rutub’, fresh dates.”
And if did not find fresh dates, he used to have dried dates. And if that wasn’t available he used to have water. So the best is to have fresh date, that’s the Sunnah of the Prophet. If you can’t find fresh dates then you can have dried dates. If you can’t find dried dates then have water. If you can’t find water than any food that’s available you can break your fast. and if you can’t find any food or if you are midway traveling then at least you break the fast with the intention.
You intend in your heart that you have broken the fast and as soon as you find food, you can have it.
Yusuf Chambers: SubhanAllah. Hopefully we won’t be in that situation these days. One never knows. Doctor, what’s the best thing to announce whilst breaking the fast? The dua or the prayer or any announcement which is specific for breaking the fast?
Dr. Zakir: Many Muslims they say many duas before they put the food in their mouth and all these duas that is there of breaking the fast, most of the them they are there are Da’if or they are unauthentic or Ma’udhu. The authentic Dua while breaking the fast is of
Sunan Abu Dawud Book of Fasting Hadith no. 2350 in which the Prophet recited its mentioned
“Zahabaz Zama’u wab tal latil uruqoo wa sabbatal ajr InshaAllah” which means that
“The thirst has been quenched, the veins are moistened and the reward is certain if Allah wills.”
Now though this dua is authentic some of them say this dua before they put the food in their mouth. Before they break the fast which by meaning itself it doesn’t make sense. This dua is supposed to be said after you put the food in your mouth. The right thing is before you put the food in the mouth, you have to say Bismillah. That was the practice of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), and after he ate the dates and water or he ate food and he had water then this dua makes sense.
“Zahabaz Zama’u wab tal latil uruqoo wa sabbatal ajr InshaAllah” which means My thirst has been quenched. Only when you have water your thirst can be quenched. So how can you say this dua before you break the fast? only after you break the fast and you have dates and you have the fruits or you have the food and then you had water then you say that my thirst has been quenched and my veins are moistened the reward is certain InshaAllah.
And there are various other Hadiths of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam). So as far as the dua immediately before breaking the fast say Bismillah and after breaking when your thirst is quenched you have to read this dua. But there are other Ahadith it’s mentioned in
Ibn Maajah Vol. no. 3 Hadith no. 1752 that the beloved Prophet said that
“The dua of three people are never unanswered, means they are always answered that is the dua, the supplication of a just ruler and an Imam, the dua of a person who fasts until he breaks his fast and the dua of an oppressed”
The same message is repeated in Ibn Maajah Vol. no 3 Hadith no. 1753 that
“A person who fasts his dua is accepted when he breaks his fast.” …
