The Superiority of Hastening to Break the Fast, and the supplication to say upon Breaking it
وَعَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ اَلضَّبِّيِّ الصحابي، رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِذَا أَفْطَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ، فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى تَمْرٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى مَاءٍ فَإِنَّهُ طَهُورٌ ((رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُدَ، وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: حَدِيث حَسَن صَحِيح)).
Salman bin 'Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) 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." [Abu Dawud].
