BREAKING THE FAST BEFORE OFFERING THE MAGRIB PRAYER H 1265 "The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, would break his fast with fresh dates before offering the evening prayer. If there were no fresh dates, then dry dates, failing that he would sip a few mouthfuls of water." R 1265 Abu Daud and Tirmidhi with a chain up to Anas who related this.
1239- وعن أنس رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : كَانَ رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يُفْطِرُ قَبْلَ أنْ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رُطَبَاتٍ ، فَإنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رُطَبَاتٌ فَتُمَيْرَاتٌ ، فَإنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تُمَيْرَاتٌ حَسَا حَسَوَاتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ . رواه أَبُو داود والترمذي ، وقال : "حديث حسن" .
