Musnad Ahmad 231 (Book 2, Hadith 147) #33922
Breaking Fast at Sunset

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that when the sun sets, it is time to break one's fast.

It was narrated that 'Umar bin al­-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) said: The Messenger of Allah  said:"When night comes and day departs, and the sun sets, then (it is time to) break your fast'.
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ اللَّيْلُ وَأَدْبَرَ النَّهَارُ وَغَابَتْ الشَّمْسُ فَقَدْ أَفْطَرْتَ‏.‏
