The Superiority of Hastening to Break the Fast, and the supplication to say upon Breaking it

باب فضل تعجيل الفطر وما يفطر عليه وما يقوله بعد إفطاره‏:‏

Riyad as-Salihin 1236
وعن عمر بن الخطاب، رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏ ‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
"‏إذا أقبل الليل من ههنا وأدبر النهار من ههنا، وغربت الشمس، فقد أفطر الصائم‏"
'Umar bin Al-Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When the night approaches from this side (i.e., the east) and the day retreats from that side (i.e., west) and the sun sets, then it is time for a person observing Saum (fasting) to break his fast."[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
