English translation
1956. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Abī Aūfa رضي الله عنهما: We were travelling with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and he was observing Saum (fast), and when the sun set, he said to (someone), "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for us." He replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! (Will you wait) till it is evening?" The Prophet ﷺ again said, "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for us." He replied, "O Allāh's Messenger! It is still daytime." The Prophet ﷺ said again, "Get down and mix Sawīq with water for us." So, he got down and carried out that order. The Prophet then said, "When you see night falling from this side, the person observing Saum (fast) should break his Saum (fast)" and he beckoned with his finger towards the east.
