Sometimes he would have only one (drink) - sometimes it would be milk and sometimes it would be a drink with soaked bread.[^9] In al-Kafi: Narrated from Ibn al-Qaddah from Abi ‘Abdillah (as) who said: The first thing that the Noble Prophet (S) broke his fast with in the season of fresh dates was fresh dates and in the season of dry dates was dry dates.[^10] Also: Narrated from al-Sakuni from Ja’far from his fathers (as): When the Holy Prophet (S) fasted and did not find anything sweet (to break his fast with), he would break his fast with water.[^11] In some narrations: He (S) would sometimes break his fast with raisins.[^12] From al-Mufid in al-Muqni’ah: Narrated from the family of the Holy Prophet (S): It is recommended to have the suhur [^13] even if it is only a glass of water.

Also: It is narrated that it is better to have dry dates and ‘al-Sawiq’ [^14] because this is what the Holy Prophet (S) used to have in his suhur .[^15] In al-Makarim: From the Holy Prophet (S) that he used to eat ‘ al-Harisah’ [^16] more than any other food and he would also have it for the suhur .[^17] In al-Faqih: When the Month of Ramad’an entered, the Noble Prophet (S) freed all the prisoners and gave (something) to all the beggars.[^18] In al-Da’aim: From ‘Ali (as) who said: The Holy Prophet (S) would roll up his mattress and intensify his worship on the last ten days of the month of Ramad’an.

He used to wake his family on the twenty-third night and he would sprinkle the faces of those who were asleep with water on this night.
