By: Ahmad Syahrin Thoriq
1. Will get the reward of the worship of the person he feeds
مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَنْقُصُ مِانْ أَجَِِِْ الصَّا
"Whoever feeds a fasting person, then he will be rewarded like the fasting person, without reducing the reward of the fasting person in the least." (Narrated by Tirmidhi)
2. Prayed by angels
Rasulullah shallallahu'alaihi wassalam said to a friend who gave food to break the fast:
ﺃﻓﻄﺮ ﻋﻨﺪﻛﻢ اﻟﺼﺎﺋﻤﻮﻥ ، ﻭﺃﻛﻞ ﻃﻌﺎﻣﻜﻢ اﻷﺑﺮاﺭ ، ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ ﻋﻠﻴﻜﻢ اﻟﻤﻼﺋﻜﺔ
"The fasting people have broken their fast in your house, your food is consumed by good people, and the angels will pray for mercy on you." (Narrated by Abu Dawud)
3. Like freeing slaves and being forgiven for their sins.
مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ عِتْقُ رَقَبَةٍ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ لِذُنُوبِهِ
"Who gives iftar food to a fasting person, it is like freeing a slave and his sins will be forgiven." (Narrated by Baihaqi)
4. Get the water of the Prophet's lake
Amen
"Whoever feeds a fasting person to his fill, Allah will later give him a drink from my lake one sip so that he will never be thirsty until he enters heaven." (Narrated by Ibn Abi Dunya)
5. Special facilities in Heaven
إِنَّ فِى الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا تُرَى ظُهُورُهَا مِنْ بُطُونِهَا وَبُطُونُهَا مِنْ ظُهُورِهَا فَقَامَ أَعْرَابِىٌّ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ هِىَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ « لِمَنْ أَطَابَ الْكَلاَمَ وَأَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَأَدَامَ الصِّيَامَ وَصَلَّى لِلَّهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ
"Surely in heaven there are rooms where the outside can be seen from the inside and the inside can be seen from the outside."
Then an Arab Bedouin stood up and said, 'Who are these rooms for, O Messenger of Allah?'
He replied, 'For people who speak the truth, who feed, and who always fast and pray at night when people are sleeping. (Narrated by Tirmidhi)
