We were with the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) on a journey while he was fasting. When the sun had set, he said: O Bilal, come down and prepare some soup for us. Bilal said: O Messenger of Allah, will you wait until it is evening. The Prophet (PBUH) said: Come down and prepare some soup for us. Bilal said: O Messenger of Allah, it is still daytime. The Prophet (PBUH) said: Come down and prepare some soup for us. So he came down and prepared the soup. So the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) drank and then said: When you see the night falling from there, the a fasting person should break his fast. And he pointed with his finger towards the east.

People are still upon goodness as long as they hasten to break the fast.
