Sahl bin Sa`d (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
People will
continue to adhere to good as long as they hasten to break the Saum (fasting)
.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
"
Adhere to good
'' here means welfare of the religion as well as that of this world. Breaking the Saum
early does not mean that it is terminated before the prescribed time. What it really means is without any delay after
the sunset. One should not delay it for the mere reason that the rigour one has gone through in the Saum should be
enhanced further, as is done by some Sufi. There is no merit in such things because the real merit lies in following
the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH). Welfare of the Muslims will, therefore, come in the share of the Muslims
because of their following the Prophet's Sunnah of breaking the Saum in the early moments of the prescribed time.

Abu Atiyyah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Masruq and I visited `Aishah (May Allah be pleased
with her) and said: "
O Mother of the Believers! There are two Companions of Muhammad (PBUH) and neither of
them holds back from doing good acts; but one of them hastens to break Saum (fasting) and hastens to perform the
Maghrib prayer, while the other delays breaking Saum and delays performing Salat (prayer).'' She asked, "Who is
the one who hastens to break Saum and perform the Maghrib prayer?'' Masruq said, "It is `Abdullah (meaning
`Abdullah bin Mas`ud).'' She said, "The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to do so
.''
[Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith points out the practice of the Prophet (PBUH) of breaking the Saum and performing the
Maghrib prayer in the early moments of the prescribed time.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "
Allah the
Most High says: `From amongst my slaves, the quicker the one is in breaking the Saum (fasting), the dearer is he to
me
.'''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
The person who breaks the Saum in its early time is best loved by Allah because he is a true follower
of the Prophet (PBUH).
