Dhahabaz-zama’u wabtallatil-‘uruqu wa thabatal-ajru in sha’ Allah.
Thirst has passed, the veins are moistened, and the reward is established, if Allah wills.
The source and meaning
Sunan Abi Dawud 2357 records the wording through Ibn Umar. Sunnah.com displays Al-Albani’s assessment as Hasan. The card keeps that attribution rather than giving a new grading from this site.
The expression concerns the change experienced at iftar. It is not the wording of a fasting intention, and it should not be relabelled as a required statement before beginning the day’s fast.
When to say it
The report connects the words with breaking the fast. Their reference to thirst having gone explains why readers commonly ask whether to say them before or after drinking. Precise practice should be learned with your fasting guidance; this page does not make an unsupported claim that one split-second placement is compulsory.
Use a reliable local timetable to establish when iftar begins. A saved dua card cannot determine sunset or replace local guidance about unusual daylight conditions.
Keeping different wordings distinct
Many iftar graphics combine several formulas. A familiar line and this reported wording may come from different sources or have different assessments. Keep the reference beside the exact words, rather than attaching Abi Dawud 2357 to every version.
Learn the meaning calmly before Ramadan or before the meal. Supplication should not become a reason to delay necessary food, medicine or assistance when someone needs care.
Common questions
Does forgetting this wording invalidate a fast? This report is not a list of fasting validity conditions. Is it a suhoor intention? No; its stated setting is iftar. Must I repeat it several times? The cited text does not give such a count. Can I make other requests at iftar? Distinguish personal supplication from the exact transmitted formula and its source.
