Hazrat Abu Tufail narrates that I had sahur with my family at Jabana, then I went to Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him), who was at the house of Harith bin Abi Rabee’ah. At that time, Harith bin Abi Rabee’ah milked his she-camel and drank it, and said that he intended to fast. Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he also intended to fast. So Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) also drank the milk. Then Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) took Harith by the hand and took him to the mosque where the prayer had already begun.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin says that there should be such an interval between a person's suhoor and the mu'adhdhin's iqamah as would suffice for the recitation of Surah Yusuf.

Ibrahim Taimi's father says that I set out on a journey with Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) during Ramadan. When dawn broke, he asked, "Has any of you eaten or drunk anything?" We replied that those who intended to fast had not eaten or drunk anything. Then we continued traveling until we asked him to pray, so he dismounted from his ride and performed the prayer.

Hazrat Mujahid says that delaying the pre-dawn meal (suhoor) is among the manners of the Prophets.

Hazrat Sha'bi narrates that Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to eat sahur early in order to join the congregational prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this, he would send someone to call him, and would eat sahur with him. Then both of them would go together for the congregational prayer.

Hazrat Khubaib bin Abdur Rahman narrates that I heard from my paternal aunt, who had performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Ibn Umm Maktum gives the call to prayer at night, you may continue eating and drinking until Bilal gives the call to prayer. If Bilal gives the call to prayer at night, you may continue eating and drinking until Ibn Umm Maktum gives the call to prayer." She says that one of these two muezzins would ascend the minaret while the other would descend. We used to say to them, "Whatever you do, we will eat the pre-dawn meal (suhoor)."

Hazrat Ibn Abi Awfa says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey and he was fasting. When the sun had set, he said, "O so-and-so! Get down and prepare sattu (barley drink)." He said, "O Messenger of Allah! There is still some part of the day left." The Prophet said, "Get down and prepare sattu." The Prophet said this three times, so he got down and prepared the sattu. The Prophet drank the sattu and said, "When you see that night has come from this side, then the fasting person should break his fast." Shaibani says, "I asked Hazrat Ibn Abi Awfa, 'Were you with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on this occasion?' He replied, 'Yes.'"

Hazrat Abu Jamrah Duba'i says that I have broken the fast with Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) in Ramadan. When evening would approach, he would send a girl to the roof. When the sun would set, she would announce it, upon which he would eat food and we would also eat food. When we finished eating, the prayer would be established; he would lead the prayer and we would pray with him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "This religion will remain dominant as long as people hasten in breaking the fast. The Jews and Christians used to delay in breaking the fast."
