Commentary
'As-Saḥūr' if it is pronounced with Fathah on letter 'Seen' it means 'eating and drinking' food stuff in the predawn meal; and if it is pronounced with Dhammah on letter 'Seen' it is an infinitive verb, then it means the act of taking predawn meal.
Islam is a natural religion based on moderation, middle course, and away from excessiveness. Therefore it urges to eat and drink as a predawn meal and also that the predawn meal is to be taken a little before the dawn appears; and the breaking of the fast should be soon after the sun has set, so that the time for remaining hungry and thirsty does not get prolonged needlessly, and the Prophet ﷺ stated it is a source of blessing.
