Sunan Ibn Majah 1699 (Book 7, Hadith 62) #31051
Breaking Fast with Dates and Water

SUMMARY: Breaking the fast with dates or water is a means of purification.

Salman bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "When any one of you breaks his fast, let him break it with dates. If he cannot find dates, then let him break it with water, for it is a means of purification".
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ الرَّبَابِ أُمِّ الرَّائِحِ بِنْتِ صُلَيْعٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهَا، سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ، فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى تَمْرَةٍ. فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ، فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى الْمَاءِ. فَإِنَّهُ طَهُورٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
When breaking your fast, try to do so by eating dates or drinking water as a means of purifying yourself spiritually and mentally.

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we break our fast, it is best to do so with dates. If we cannot find dates, then we should break our fast with water. This is because breaking the fast in this way serves as a means of purification for us. It helps us to cleanse ourselves spiritually and mentally after fasting all day long. This hadith teaches us that even if we don't have access to certain foods or drinks, there are still ways for us to practice self-care and purify ourselves spiritually.
