2144 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَسَحَّرُوا فَإِنَّ فِي السَّحُورِ بَرَكَةً» وَقَفَهُ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ

Commentary
1. To partake of a predawn meal (Sahûr) is recommended or desirable, because this would make it easy for one to sustain the fast. Physical energy would remain. Moreover, one would get the reward for having taken it with the intention of fasting. 2. From the expression Barakah or blessedness, it transpires that the predawn meal is not compulsory.
