Hadith.1955 - Imam Zain al-Abidin Ali ibn al-Hussein (as) would, on the day he fasted, order a sheep to be slaughtered, its parts to be cut, and then cooked. When it was evening, he would lean over the pots to smell the aroma of the broth while still fasting. Then Imam (as) would say: "Bring the dishes and serve portions to the family of so-and-so, and to the family of so-and-so." Afterward, bread and dates would be brought to Imam (as), and that would be his dinner.

Hadith.1956 - The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Whoever provides iftar to a believing fasting person during this month will have, for that act, the reward of freeing a slave and forgiveness for their past sins from Allah (swt), the Exalted and Glorious." It was said to Him (sw): "O Messenger of Allah (swt), not all of us are able to provide iftar to a fasting person." He (peace be upon him and his family) replied: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, is generous. He grants this reward to those among you who can only offer a sip of milk to break the fast of a fasting person, or a drink of pure water, or a few dates if they are unable to offer more than that."
