In regards to the saying after breaking the Fast, the
following authentic Hadeeth is being circulated as a “Du`aa”:
Ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما said
that the Prophet ﷺ said when he broke his fast:
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ
وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
❝The thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the
reward is sure, if Allaah Wills.❞
[Sunan Abu Dawood (2357), Sunan al-Kubraa of al_nasaa’ee
(3315, 10058), Mustdrak al-Haakim (1536), Sunan al-Daraqutnee (2279) and he
graded it as “Hasan”, and also graded as “Hasan” by Shaikh al-Albaanee in
al-Irwaa’ (920)]
But is it actually a “Du`aa” or a “Dhikr”?
1) As mentioned in Sharh Usool al-Thalaathah, Du`aa are of
two types: Du`aa for asking (دعاء المسألة) and Du`aa for
worship (دعاء العبادة).
