The Companions leaving after Fajr and not sitting until sunrise

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people are confused by the fact that the Companions break their fast after Fajr and do not sit until sunrise. This is a point of clarification. Some people are confused by the fact that the Companions go out after Fajr and do not sit until the drink, a point of clarification.

Answer:
People have their own circumstances and their own work. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) are human beings like everyone else; they need to make a living, they need to seek sustenance, they need to attend to various matters, and they go out for various reasons. It may be that a person going out to seek sustenance and look for a livelihood is better than him sitting, better than him sitting in the mosque. If he needs this, and his children need him to go out to seek sustenance and provide for himself and his children, that is better than him sitting in the mosque for dhikr or seeking knowledge. Circumstances differ and lessons differ. Yes.
