1955. Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin Abī Aūfā We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and he was observing Saum (fast), and when the sun set, he addressed somebody, “O so-and-so, get up and mix Sawīq with water for us.” He replied, “O Allāh’s Messenger! (Will you wait) till it is evening?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Get down and mix Sawīq with water for us.” He replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! (If you wait) till it is evening." The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for us." He replied, "It is still daytime."(1) The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for us." He got down and mixed Sawīq for them. The Prophet ﷺ drank it and then said, "When you see night falling from this side, the fasting person should break his Saum (fast)."

1955 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ الوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَهُوَ صَائِمٌ، فَلَمَّا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ القَوْمِ: «يَا فُلاَنُ قُمْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا»، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَمْسَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: «انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا» قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، فَلَوْ أَمْسَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: «انْزِلْ، فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا»، قَالَ: إِنَّ عَلَيْكَ نَهَارًا، قَالَ: «انْزِلْ فَاجْدَحْ لَنَا»، فَنَزَلَ فَجَدَحَ لَهُمْ، فَشَرِبَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ اللَّيْلَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ مِنْ هَا هُنَا، فَقَدْ أَفْطَرَ الصَّائِمُ»
