Sunan Abi Dawud 2356 (Book 14, Hadith 44) #22647
Breaking the Fast Before Praying

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to break his fast before praying with dates, and if there were no dates, he would take a few mouthfuls of water.

Narrated Anas ibn Malik: The Messenger of Allah used to break his fast before praying with some fresh dates; but if there were no fresh dates, he had a few dry dates, and if there were no dry dates, he took some mouthfuls of water.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ الْبُنَانِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُفْطِرُ عَلَى رُطَبَاتٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رُطَبَاتٌ فَعَلَى تَمَرَاتٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ حَسَا حَسَوَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was known for his exemplary behavior and teachings. One of these teachings is that it is recommended to break one's fast before praying with some fresh or dry dates, or even just a few mouthfuls of water. This hadith shows us the importance of prayer in Islam and how it should be done with a full stomach so that one can concentrate on their prayer without being distracted by hunger. It also teaches us the importance of moderation in our diet; even when breaking one's fast, we should not overindulge but rather take only what we need to sustain ourselves until our next meal. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to be mindful about what we eat; instead of eating unhealthy snacks or processed foods when breaking our fast, we should opt for natural foods such as dates which are rich in nutrients and beneficial for our health.
