699. Sahl bin Sa'd narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The people will remain upon goodness as long as they hasten to break the fast." (Sahih)
(He said:) There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah, Ibn 'Abbās, 'Aishah, and Anas bin Mālik.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Sahl bin Sa'd is a Hasan Ṣahīh Hadīth. This is what is preferred by the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others, they consider it recommended to hasten breaking the fast. This is the saying of Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad and Ishāq.

Commentary
Arrival of the night, departure of the day and setting of the sun, three matters are mutually necessary for each other, and the real objective is the certainty of the setting of the sun. So as soon as the sun sets, the fasting person should break the fast without delay and hesitation.
