Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

As Salaam Aleikum,

Dear Brother,
I would like to know what is the real dua that the prophet mohammad (SAW) recited after having suhur and what is the dua he recited before breaking fast and the dua after breaking fast. I would appreciate if you could tell me the Hadiths number. 

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Supplication breaking fast

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Your Question: I would like to know what is the real dua that the prophet mohammad (SAW) recited after having suhur

Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "Eat a pre-dawn meal (before fasting), for there are blessings in it."

Related by Bukhari and Muslim.

Al-Miqdam ibn Madyakrib reported that the Prophet (saws) said: "You should eat this pre-dawn meal (before fasting) for it is a blessed nourishment."

Related by an-Nasa'i.

The Messenger of Allah (saws) encouraged the believers to eat a pre-dawn meal before starting their fast, and to the best of our knowledge there is no particular dua or supplication recorded in the authentic narrations which the Messenger of Allah (saws) would recite specifically before or after the ‘suhur’ or pre-dawn meal.

Your Question: and what is the dua he recited before breaking fast

Sunan of Abu-Dawood 2351 Narrated by Mu'adh ibn Zuhrah

The Prophet of Allah (saws) used to say when he (saws) broke his fast: ‘O Allah, for Thee I have fasted, and with Thy provision I have broken my fast.’

Your Question: and the dua after breaking fast.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 2350 Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar

When the Messenger of Allah (saws) had broken his fast he (saws) would say: ‘The thirst has gone, the glands are moist, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah Wills.’

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
