Breaking your fast

Said as the fast ends and the first sip is taken.

ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَثَبَتَ الأَجْرُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Dhahaba-ẓ-ẓama'u wa-btallati-l-ʿurūq, wa thabata-l-ajru in shā' Allāh.

“The thirst has gone, the veins are moistened, and the reward is certain, if Allah wills.”

The full narration

Marwan ibn Salim al-Muqaffa' said: I saw Ibn Umar holding his beard with his hand and cutting what exceeded the handful of it. He (Ibn Umar) said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said when he broke his fast: Thirst has gone, the arteries are moist, and the reward is sure, if Allah wills
