Anas (raḍiyallāhu ‘anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allāh (șallalāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said, “Eat Suhūr (predawn meal). Surely, there is a blessing in Suhūr. [Al- Bukhārī (1923) and Muslim (1095)] Commentary: This Hadith tells us that Suhūr is Masnūn (Sunnah of the Prophet (șallalāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam)), even if one takes a small quantity of food. This meal is blessed and maintains one’s energy and vitality during Saūm. Against this, if a person goes to sleep after taking his dinner to save himself from the inconvenience of getting up before dawn or takes Suhūr early will be, on one side, disobeying Messenger of Allāh (șallalāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam), while on the other side, he will be feeling hunger and thirst very early and very much as he himself has increased the period of fasting by not taking the Suhūr. Subhān Allāh! How the weaknesses of man have been taken into account in the teachings of Islām while suitable provision has been provided to overcome them!
