The Day of Fasting, Breaking Fast and Sacrifice

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that fasting, breaking the fast and sacrificing are all acts of worship that should be done on the same day.

Abu Hurairah narrated that : the Prophet said: "The fast is the day the people fast, the breaking of the fast is the day the people break their fast, and the sacrifice is the day the people sacrifice".
أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأَخْنَسِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الصَّوْمُ يَوْمَ تَصُومُونَ وَالْفِطْرُ يَوْمَ تُفْطِرُونَ وَالأَضْحَى يَوْمَ تُضَحُّونَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏ وَفَسَّرَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا مَعْنَى هَذَا أَنَّ الصَّوْمَ وَالْفِطْرَ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَعُظْمِ النَّاسِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teaches us about three important acts of worship - fasting, breaking the fast and sacrificing. Fasting is when a person abstains from food and drink during daylight hours for a certain period of time as an act of devotion to Allah. Breaking the fast is when one eats or drinks after sunset to end their daily fast. Lastly, sacrifice is when one offers an animal such as a sheep or goat in remembrance of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail for Allah's sake. All three acts should be done on the same day in order to show our devotion to Allah.
