(قلت: إسناده ضعيف؛ لجهالة الرباب، ومع ذلك صححه جمع! وقد صح من فِعْلِه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وهو في الكتاب الآخر برقم (٢٠٤٠))

2355. It was reported from Ar-Rabbāb, from Salmān bin 'Āmir — her paternal uncle — he said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When one of you fasts, then let him break his fast with dates (Tamr), and if he does not find dates, then with water for indeed water is purifying.'" (Sāhih)
2355 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ الْأَحْوَلِ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِنْتِ سِيرِينَ، عَنِ الرَّبَابِ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَمِّهَا قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ صَائِمًا، فَلْيُفْطِرْ عَلَى التَّمْرِ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدِ التَّمْرَ، فَعَلَى الْمَاءِ فَإِنَّ الْمَاءَ طَهُورٌ»

Fast, as a rule, can be broken with any type of food or drink that is permissible, while dates or water are the most blessed for that purpose.
