The Prophet ﷺ said, "The religion will remain dominant as long as people hasten to break their fast, for the Jews and the Christians delay it."
عن النبي ﷺ قال: لا يزال الدين ظاهرا ما عجل الناس الفطر؛ لأن اليهود والنصارى يؤخرون.
Abu Dawud (2353) and Ibn Majah (1698) both narrated it from the hadith of Muhammad bin Amr, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it. Its isnad is hasan because of Muhammad bin Amr, who is hasan al-hadith. Imam Ahmad (9810) narrated it through his route, and Ibn Khuzayma (2060), Ibn Hibban (3503), and Hakim (1/431) graded it sahih. Hakim said, "Sahih according to the criterion of Muslim."As for what is reported from Abu Dharr that the Prophet ﷺ said to Bilal, "You, Bilal, are calling the adhan when the morning light is spreading brightly across the sky, but that is not the true dawn, rather the true dawn is like this, stretching across the horizon." Then he called for his suhoor and ate it, and he used to say, "My nation will continue to be well as long as they delay the suhoor and hasten the breaking of the fast," this is daif.Imam Ahmad narrated it (21507) in full and in abridged form (21312), and in both places from Musa bin Dawud, who said, Ibn Lahia narrated to us, from Salim bin Ghaylan, from Sulayman bin Abu Uthman, from Adi bin Hatim al-Himsi, from Abu Dharr, and he mentioned it. Ibn Lahia has well-known criticism against him, that he had poor memory. Ahmad also narrated it (21503) through another route, from Rushdin bin Saad, from Salim bin Ghaylan, in a similar manner, and Rushdin bin Saad is daif by the agreement of the scholars. Sulayman bin Abu Uthman, who is al-Tujaybi, and his teacher Adi bin Hatim al-Himsi, are both unknown narrators.Husayni said, as found in Tajil, (734), "Adi bin Hatim, or Hatim bin Adi, it occurs this way with uncertainty, a Himsi narrator who is unknown. He narrated from Abu Dharr, and Sulayman bin Abu Uthman narrated from him."On this subject there is also what is reported from Abu Hurairah, who said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah Almighty said, 'The most beloved of My servants to Me is the one who hastens to break his fast.'" Tirmidhi (700) and Imam Ahmad (8360) narrated it, and Ibn Khuzayma (2062) and Ibn Hibban (3507) graded it sahih, all of them from the hadith of Uzai, who said, Qurra bin Abdul-Rahman narrated to us, from Zuhri, from Abu Salama, from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it. Tirmidhi said, "Hasan gharib."I say, it is gharib only, without being hasan. Qurra bin Abdul-Rahman, even though he is among the narrators of Muslim, is daif by the agreement of the scholars, and I did not find anyone who corroborated him. As for Muslim, he narrated it paired together with another narrator.In some chains of the hadith, Walid bin Muslim appears, from Uzai, and he is a mudallis who narrated using ambiguous transmission language, though he was corroborated. That is why Tirmidhi said, following his citation of the hadith through this route, Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman narrated to us, Abu Asim and Abu Mughira informed us, from Uzai, with this isnad, in a similar manner.
