Source & Authentication
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: 'The believer breaks his fast when the sun has set. And he says: Allahumma laka sumtu, wa 'ala rizqika aftartu, fataqabbal minni, innaka antas-samee'ul-aleem (O Allah! For Your sake I fasted, and with Your provision I break my fast. So accept it from me, indeed You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing).' This hadith is found in Sunan Abi Dawud, Book 10, Hadith 2358. While the wording provided in the JSON is the most commonly cited, it's important to note the context of breaking fast in general. This specific formulation is often associated with the moment of Iftar. Another narration from the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding breaking fast is: 'The thirst is gone, the veins are quenched, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.' (Sunan Abi Dawud 2357, Sahih). The dua in the JSON directly follows the first part of the companion's narration.
