Supplication Upon Breaking The Fast

The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain, if Allaah wills.

 A Widespread Weak Du'ā For Ifṭār

As Ramaḍān is approaching there is something that I would like to bring to attention is the Du'ā at the time of Ifṭār (breaking fast) which is common and widespread amongst people,

 “Allaahuma Laka Ṣumtu Wa ‘Alaa Rizqika Afṭartu”

(O Allāh I fasted for you and I broke it upon which you’ve provided me with)

This Du'ā has been declared weak by Muḥaddithīn such as Ibn Ḥajar, an-Nawawī, adh-Dhahabī, Ibn al-Qayyim, ash-Shawkānee, al-Albānī and other than them,

As for the correct Du'ā for Ifṭār it is as follows:

✔ Dhahab aẓ-Ẓama`u Wabtallatil ‘Urooq Wa Thabat al-Ajru In Shaa Allaah

 (The thirst is gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed, if Allāh wills)
