عن ابي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: ((السحور اكلة بركة فلا تدعوه ولو ان يجرع احدكم جرعة من ماء، فإن الله عز وجل وملائكته يصلون على المتسحرين))
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The pre-dawn meal (suhoor) is blessed, so do not abandon it, even if you only take a sip of water. Indeed, Allah the Exalted and the angels send mercy upon those who partake in suhoor. That is, Allah sends mercy and the angels pray for the descent of mercy.

عن ابي قيس مولى عمرو بن العاص ان عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه كان يسرد الصوم وقلما يصيب من العشاء اول الليل اكثر ما كان يصيب من السحر، قال: وسمعته يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول: ((إن فصلا بين صيامنا وصيام اهل الكتاب اكلة السحر))
Abu Qais narrates that Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to fast continuously, and he would rarely eat in the early part of the night; the reason for this was that he mostly ate at suhoor. I heard him say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The distinction between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is eating suhoor.
