English Translation of Hadith  

Hazrat Ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) saw Lailat-ul-Qadr (Night of Decree) in their dreams in the last seven nights of Ramadan, whereupon the Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) said, "I see that your dreams all agree upon the last seven nights. Whosoever seeks it, let him seek it in the last seven nights.''

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) never proceeded (for the prayer) on the Day of 'Id-ul-Fitr unless he had eaten some dates. Hazrat Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) also narrated: The Prophet  [SAWW](PBUH) used to eat odd number of dates.

[Al-Bukhari Volume 2, Book 15, Number 73].

Lesson : We learn from this Hadith "The wisdom behind eating before the Eid prayers (Salaah) is so that no person doubts that fasting remains until after the Salaah. So it is as if The Messenger of Allah  [SAWW](PBUH) wanted to stop this from occurring.”

We implore Allah, the Most High, to make the approaching Eid a moment of blessing for everyone. May this Eid bring peace and prosperity globally. Indeed, Eid is the day of blessings and great reward by Almighty Allah for good observance of fasting and Salaah, thus we need to express our gratitude to Allah, Who has enabled us to observe virtues deed and, at the same time, granted us abundant provision during this blessed month.
