حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ، سَمِعْتُ عَاصِمَ بْنَ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رضى الله عنه

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَقْبَلَ اللَّيْلُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا، وَأَدْبَرَ النَّهَارُ مِنْ هَا هُنَا، وَغَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ، فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “When night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast.”

‘উমার ইবনু খাত্তাব (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যখন রাত্র সে দিক হতে ঘনিয়ে আসে ও দিন এ দিক হতে চলে যায় এবং সূর্য ডুবে যায়, তখন সায়িম ইফতার করবে। (মুসলিম ১৩/১০, হাঃ ১১০০, আহমাদ ২৩১)

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Al Humaidiy] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hisyam bin 'Urwah] berkata, aku mendengar [bapakku] berkata, aku mendengar ['Ashim bin 'Umar bin Al Khaththob] dari [bapaknya radliallahu 'anhu] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Jika malam telah datang dari sana dan siang telah berlalu dari sana serta matahari telah tenggelam, maka orang yang berpuasa sudah boleh berbuka

Asım İbn Ömer İbnü'l-Hattab'ın babasından naklettiğine göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurmuştur: "Gece karanlığı bu taraftan bastırıp, gündüz şu taraftan geri çekilir ve güneş batarsa artık oruçlunun iftar etme vakti gelmiştir

What it means

According to the Shariah, fasting time begins from dawn to sunset. In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that the time of breaking the fast is when the night comes from the east and the day retreats from the west; i.e. when the sun sets In another narration: "When the night approaches from this side and the day retreats from that side and the sun sets, then it is time for the fasting person to break his fast." When this time comes, the fasting person should break his fast without delay, otherwise he will be blamed for such a delay.

So, he should hasten to break his fast in obedience to Allah, the Almighty, and in compliance with His command, and in order to make the time of worship distinct from other times, and to enable himself to enjoy the permissible pleasures of life. “Then it is time for the fasting person to break his fast” has two possible meanings: 1.

He is legally considered to have broken his fast once the time of breaking the fast comes, even if he has taken nothing to break it. Thus, the encouragement in some Hadīths to hasten the break of the fast refers to actual breaking, so as to accord with the Shariah meaning. 2. The time of breaking the fast has come, so he is encouraged to promptly break his fast.

This meaning is more appropriate and supported by a narration of Al-Bukhāri, which reads: “The time of breaking the fast has come.”
