Salman bin 'Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "When you break fast, you should do it with a date-fruit for there is blessing in it, and if you do not find a date-fruit, break it with water for it is pure." Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) added: "Charity towards a poor person is charity, and towards a relation is both charity and maintaining the ties (of kinship)." [Tirmidhi]
Commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf:
We learn two points from this Hadith: Firstly, it is more rewarding to break fast with date-fruit or water. Secondly, payment of Sadaqah to one's poor relatives carries a double reward.
