Arabic text

2164 - أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ بَقِيَّةَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِ يكَرِبَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِغَدَاءِ السُّحُورِ فَإِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَدَاءُ الْمُبَارَكُ»

Commentary

The term Ghadâ means meal or breakfast, which is eaten in the beginning of the day. Since the predawn meal for the faster is synonymous to the daytime meal. In the blessed Ĥadīth, it is called the breakfast or the Ghadā. We could term the Sahūr, in our common usage, breakfast. (For further elucidation, sse Ĥadīth 2146).
