Sahl reported God’s messenger as saying, “The people will continue to prosper as long as they hasten the breaking of the fast.”*
*This refers to each day during Ramadan, and recommends that the fast should be broken as early as that may lawfully be done.
‘Amr b. al-‘As reported God’s messenger as saying, “The difference between our fasting and that of the People of the Book is eating shortly before dawn.”
‘Umar reported God’s messenger as saying, “When the night approaches on this side and the day retreats on that side and the sun sets, he who fasts has reached the time to break it.”
