Salman bin `Amir [radiaAllaahu anhu]
reported:
I heard the Prophet [صلى الله عليه وسلم] saying,
"When one of you breaks his Saum (fasting), let him break it on dates; if he does not have any, break his fast with water for it is pure.''
"When one of you breaks his Saum (fasting), let him break it on dates; if he does not have any, break his fast with water for it is pure.''
[Abu
Dawood]
Anas [radiAllaahu anhu]
reported:
“The Messenger of Allaah [صلى الله عليه وسلم] used
to break his Sawm (fast) before offering Maghrib (sunset) prayer with three
fresh dates; if there were no fresh dates, he will eat three dry dates; &
if there were no dry dates, he would take three draughts of water.”
[Abu Dawood & others, graded
authentic by Shaikh Al-Albani in Sahih Al-Jami' AS-Saghir, No.4995].
وَالَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا يَتَمَتَّعُونَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ الْأَنْعَامُ وَالنَّارُ
مَثْوًى لَّهُمْ
"But those who disbelieve enjoy
themselves & eat as cattle eat, & the Fire will be their abode.”
[Surah Muhammad: 12]
[Surah Muhammad: 12]
Ahadith references to the ayahs above are
given in Tafsir Ibn Kathir:
Prophet
[صلى
الله عليه وسلم] said:
"The believer eats in one stomach whilst the disbeliever eats in seven." [1]
Prophet
[صلى
الله عليه وسلم] said:
"The son of Aadam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Aadam to eat a few mouthfuls, to keep him going. If he must do that (fill his stomach), then let him fill one third with food, one third with drink and one third with air." [2]
Prophet
[صلى
الله عليه وسلم] said:
"The more people eat their fill in this world, the hungrier they will be on the Day of Resurrection." [3]
Prophet
[صلى
الله عليه وسلم] said:
"The best among you are those whose coexist with me, then those who follow them immediately, then (the third generation) which comes immediately after them ( he said this sentence twice to thrice), then these persons will be followed by those who will testify but they will not be asked to testify (that is their testimony will not be accepted) they will misappropriate & will not be trustworthy; will take vows, but will not fulfill them, will suffer from fatness."[4]
Narrated
Nafi':
Ibn 'Umar never used to take his meal unless a poor man was called to eat with him. One day I brought a poor man to eat with him, the man ate too much, whereupon Ibn 'Umar said,
"O Nafi'! Don't let this man enter my house, for I heard the Prophet saying, "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), & a kafir (unbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much food)." [5]
