.. 🌹Encouragement & Blessings in Eating Saḥūr (Pre-dawn Meal)
Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه narrated that Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said: Eat the Saḥūr (Pre-dawn meal) for there are BLESSINGS in the meal.
• [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (no. 1923) and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (no. 1095)]
Anas ibn Mālik رضي الله عنه also narrated that Zayd ibn Thābit رضي الله عنه said: We ate Saḥūr with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and then he stood for the prayer.
Anas said: “I said to Zayd, ‘How much time was Between the Adhān and Saḥūr?’
He said: Enough time to recite Fifty verses.
• [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (no. 1921) and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (no. 1097)]
📌Explanation of Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azīz ibn Bāz رحمه الله:
“Saḥūr is the food that is Eaten in the LAST part of the NIGHT, and Suḥūr is the Action of Eating in the Last part of the Night. This is [linguistically] the same as waḍū’ and wuḍū’, Wuḍū’ is the action of making Ablution, whereas Waḍū’ is the Water that is used for Purification.
It is legislated for the Muslims to eat the pre-dawn meal so that they can have strength in obeying Allāh.
In the second ḥadīth, Zayd ibn Thābit رضي الله عنه says, “We ate saḥūr with Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ and then he stood for the prayer.”
Anas said: “I said to Zayd, ‘How much time was between the Adhān and Saḥūr?’
He said: “Enough time to recite Fifty verses.”
Meaning, the Prophet’s suḥūr was LATE, in the last part of the night. The sunnah is to DELAY the suḥūr so that the fasting person has More strength to obey Allāh.
So, the Suḥūr should be CLOSE to the ADHĀN Time, Not in the middle part of the night as some people do. In another ḥadīth, the Prophet ﷺ said: “The people will not Cease to remain upon goodness so long as they hasten with the Breaking of the fast.”
• [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī (no. 1957) and Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (no. 1098)]
Also, it is reported in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim that the Prophet ﷺ said: The difference between our fast and the fasting of Ahlul-Kitāb is the EATING of the Pre-dawn meal.
• [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (no. 1096)]
• [Explanation of Shaykh Ibn Bāz, Dār al-Riyādah (pg. 241-242)]
