Breaking the Fast with Dates and Water

SUMMARY: When breaking the fast, one should do so with dates or water.

Salman bin Amir Ad-Dabbi narrated that : the Prophet said: "When one of you breaks his fast, then let him do so with dried dates. And whoever does not find dates, then water, for it is purifying".
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، ‏.‏ وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ الرَّبَابِ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الضَّبِّيِّ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى تَمْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَادَ ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّهُ بَرَكَةٌ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى مَاءٍ فَإِنَّهُ طَهُورٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Break your fast using dried dates or water if you don't have any available.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to break a fast. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when one of us breaks their fast, they should do so with dried dates. If there are no dates available, then water can be used instead as it is purifying. This hadith teaches us to be mindful of what we eat and drink during our fasting period and also reminds us that even something as simple as water can have a great impact on our spiritual wellbeing. It also encourages us to use natural resources such as dates for sustenance rather than processed foods which may not provide the same benefits.
