Dislikes of fasting

Take the pre-dawn meal, for verily in the pre-dawn meal there is a blessing.

[Bukhari & Muslim] 


Hadrat Sahl Radi Allahu anhu narrated that the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam said:

The people will remain on the correct path as long as they hasten to break the fast.

[Bukhari & Muslim]


Hadrat Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu narrated that the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam said:

The one who does not refrain from falsehood and acting in accordance with it, Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala has no need for him leaving his food and drink.

[Bukhari & Muslim]


Hadrat Abu Hurayrah Radi Allahu anhu also narrated that the Beloved Messenger of Allah Salla Allahu ta’ala ‘alayhi wa Sallam said:

Many a fasting person gets nothing from his fasting but thirst. Many a man standing for worship gets nothing from his standing but sleeplessness.
