When breaking the fastAbu Dawud 2357

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ، وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ، وَثَبَتَ الْأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Dhahaba al-ẓama’u wabtallati al-‘urūqu wa thabata al-ajru in shā’ Allāh

Thirst is gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is confirmed, if Allah wills.

For whoever gives you IftarAbu Dawud 3854

أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُونَ، وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الْأَبْرَارُ، وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ

Afṭara ‘indakumu al-ṣā’imūn, wa akala ṭa‘āmakumu al-abrār, wa ṣallat ‘alaykumu al-malā’ikah
