| Question: Classification of Hadith regarding dua before fasting | |
| Assalamu ʿalaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
I have a question regarding the classification of a specific narration related to the duʿāʾ at the time of breaking the fast. The narration is reported from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Indeed, the fasting person has at the time of breaking his fast a supplication that is not rejected.” Then Abdullah ibn Umar used to say when he broke his fast: Submit Question The Q&A Service is Sponsored by: © Muftisays.com About Us Disclaimer Contact Us Advertise Sections Question & Answers Forum Member's Blogs Articles Fiqhuiz New to Islam Muftipedia Halal Videos Islamic Fact of the Day Mufti Umar Farooq Sponsors Halal Food Gastronomy - Non Stunned Halal Reviews British Wholesales Saffron Alley Muftisays.com and Muftisays.org © is independently owned and operated by Muftisays.com's volunteers.

My questions are: 1. Is this particular narration considered mawqūf, meaning it is simply the supplication of Ibn ʿUmar (رضي الله عنهما), or is it considered marfūʿ ḥukman, meaning it is implicitly traced back to the Prophet ﷺ? 2. Can this duʿāʾ be attributed to the Prophet ﷺ, or should it only be attributed to Ibn ʿUmar as his personal practice? 3. If scholars consider it marfūʿ ḥukman, how should it be attributed correctly to the Prophet ﷺ in wording? For example, would it be correct to say something like: • “The Prophet ﷺ taught this duʿāʾ,” • or “The Prophet ﷺ used to say this duʿāʾ,” or should it only be phrased as: • “It is reported that Ibn ʿUmar used to say this duʿāʾ when breaking his fast”? I would greatly appreciate clarification on the correct scholarly classification and wording for attributing this narration. Jazakum Allahu khayran. |
