(Aftara AAindakumus-sa-imoon, wa-akala taAAamakumul-abrar, wasallat AAalaykumul-mala-ikah.)

(May the fasting break their fast in your home, and may the dutiful and pious eat your food, and may the angles send prayers upon you.)

Context & meaning

Three wishes, and each names a different set of visitors to the host's house. The first asks that people who are fasting break their fast there. The second asks that the dutiful and pious eat the food. The third leaves human guests behind entirely and asks that the angels send prayers upon the host. None of the three mentions the speaker, and none asks for anything material.

When & how to recite

Ibn Majah records this from 'Abdullah bin Zubair, said for a family who provide the meal ending a fast.

Reflection

Each wish raises the standing of the guest. The house receives the fasting, then the pious, then the angels, and only the last of them brings nothing to eat.
