The questioner : Upon the Messenger of Allah
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh saysThe questioner :Sunan Abi Dawud 2357Hasan (Al-Albani)
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : Is this hadith established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a well-known hadith, but it is not for every fast. It is for fasting when the day is long and the heat is intense. When one breaks the fast, he finds that the thirst is gone, the veins are moist, and the reward is with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). But in our days, what would we say if we recited this supplication? If we said "the thirst is gone," what would be said to us? What would be said? We would say, "There is no thirst." That would be a lie. If we said "the veins are moist," we would say, "No, they were not dry until they became moist." As for "the reward is confirmed," yes, there is no doubt. We ask Allah to confirm our rewards. For this reason, some people thought that this dhikr is said in every fast, but that is a mistake. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) could not have saidSunan Abi Dawud 2357Hasan (Al-Albani) when he was not thirsty and his veins were not dry. Yes.
So when is this said? In the intensity of heat and thirst. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The honorable Shaykh saysThe questioner :
Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the reward is sure, if Allah wills.
ذهب الظمأ وابتلت العروق وثبت الأجر إن شاء اللهThe Shaykh : Yes
