Dua for Breaking the Fast
ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
Dhahaba az-zama’u wabtallat al-‘urooqu wa thabata al-ajru in sha’ Allah
“The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.”
Sunan Abu Dawud 2357, from Ibn ‘Umar.
When to say it
It is reported that the Prophet ﷺ said this after breaking the fast. Another widely used wording, “Allahumma laka sumtu wa ‘ala rizqika aftartu”, is recorded in Sunan Abu Dawud 2358 with weakness in its chain, which is why many scholars prefer the first.
