~Reward of Hosting an Iftar~

[Mustafa Kazmi]

~Reward of Hosting an Iftar~ Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "He who provides a fasting person something with which to break his fast, will earn the same reward as the one who was observing the fast, without diminishing in any way the reward of the latter.''[At-Tirmidhi] Umm `Umarah Al-Ansariyah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Once the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) visited us and I served him some food. He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) asked me to eat. I replied that I was observing (optional) fast. He (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, "When people eat by a person observing fast, the angels keep asking Allah's forgiveness for that person until they have had their fill.'' [At-Tirmidhi] Commentary: Such are the amazing blessings of providing someone else with food to open their fast, that Allah, out of His immense Mercy and Kindness, will give the same reward as the person who is fasting! The second hadith tells us the merits of the person who is himself observing Saum but serves meals to others.
