Sayyiduna ‘Irbad bin Sariyah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) inviting a man to eat suhoor. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Come, eat the blessed morning meal.”In the narration of Junab al-Dawraqi and ‘Abdullah bin Hashim, it is stated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was inviting to the suhoor meal in the month of Ramadan, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Come, eat the blessed morning meal.”Both of them added in their respective narrations: Then I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:“O Allah, teach Mu‘awiyah the Qur’an and accounting, and save him from punishment.”Junab ‘Abdullah bin Hashim narrates from Sayyiduna Mu‘awiyah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Come, eat the blessed morning meal.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from the Noble Prophet that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Seek help for the fast of the day by eating the pre-dawn meal (suhoor), and seek help for standing in prayer at night by taking a midday nap during the day."

The freed slave of Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-As, Abu Qais, reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The distinction between our fasting and the fasting of the People of the Book is the (pre-dawn) meal of suhoor." In the narration of Waki’, it is: "Between your fasting (and the fasting of the People of the Book)."

Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we took sahur with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), then we got up for prayer. I asked, "What was the interval between taking sahur and the prayer?" He replied, "The interval was equal to the time it takes to recite fifty verses."

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I used to eat sahur with my family, then I would hurry to perform the Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
