fastingprophet-muhammad
1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا صَامَ فَلَمْ يَجِدِ الْحَلْوَاءَ أَفْطَرَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ.
1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Nawfafiy, from af-Sakuniy from Ja’far (a.s.), from his father (a.s.), who said: “If the Messenger of Allah (sw) was fasting and he did not find Halwa (a special type of sweet), he would break his fast with water.”
