DO NOT DELAY BREAKING YOUR FAST

1260

“Masruq and I (Abu Atiyyah) visited Lady Ayesha, may Allah be pleased with her, and Masruq said to her, ‘There are two Companions of the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, neither of whom is hesitant to do any kind of good; one of them hastens to break his fast and to offer the evening prayer and the other delays both.’ She asked, ‘Who is it that hastens to break his fast and offer the evening prayer?’ He answered, ‘Abdullah son of Mas'ud.’ She commented, ‘The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, did the same.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Atiyyah who related this.
