Sahoor
Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani:
"In the hadith of Anas, “Eat sahoor, for in sahoor there is blessing”, what is meant by blessing is reward, or it is blessed because it gives one strength and energy to fast, and makes it less difficult.
And it was said that the blessing coming from waking up and offering du’aa’ at the end of the night, before dawn.
It is most likely that the blessing of sahoor comes from a number of things: it is following the Sunnah, differing from the People of the Book, it gives one strength for worship, increases energy, wards off the bad attitude that may result from being hungry, makes one give charity to the one who asks at that time or joins him to eat, it reminds one to remember Allah and call upon Him at times when a response is most likely, and reminds one to form the intention of fasting for the one who forgot to do so before he went to bed."
(Fath al-Baari, 4/140)
