عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال : كان النبي – صلّى الله عليه وسلم – يفطر على رطبات قبل أن
يصلي، فإن لم يكن رطبات فتمرات، فإن لم يكنتمرات حسا حسوات من ماء
صحيح أبي داود
“On the authority of Anas b. Mâik -radiyaLLahu anhu – who said that Allah’s Messenger – salallahu alayhi wasalam – used to break his fast with fresh dates before going for salat (magrib). When fresh dates were unavailable, he would break his fast with dried dates. When dried dates were unavailable, he would take a few sips of water”
Sunan Abî Dâwûd
