Chapter on Merit of the Pre-Dawn Meal (Suhur) and What It Is Recommended That the Breaking of the Fast Be upon
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:» لَوْ أَنَّ اَلنَّاسَ تَسَحَّرُوا وَ لَمْ يُفْطِرُوا عَلَى مَاءٍ مَا قَدَرُوا وَ اَللَّهِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا اَلدَّهْرَ«.
And from him, from some of our companions, raising it, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam عليه السلام said: “If the people were to take the pre-dawn meal (al-suhur) and not break their fast upon water, by Allah سبحانه وتعالى, they would not be able to fast perpetually.”
