Allahumma Laka Sumtu: Iftar Dua (Weak Chain)
Note: This report has a weak chain. It is popular, but it is not firmly proven from the Prophet ﷺ. See the grading below.
Transliteration
Allahumma laka sumtu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu
Meaning
O Allah, for You I have fasted, and with Your provision I have broken my fast.
When to say it
Many people say it at iftar. The iftar dua with a stronger chain is "Dhahabaz-zama'u" (Abu Dawud 2357, graded hasan by al-Albani).
Narrator
Mu'adh ibn Zuhrah.
Context
Mu'adh ibn Zuhrah said that it reached him that the Prophet ﷺ said these words when he broke his fast.
Reference
Source: Abu Dawud 2358.
Authenticity
Grade: Da'if (weak) — Al-Albani, as shown on sunnah.com/abudawud:2358.
Mu'adh ibn Zuhrah says only that the words reached him. He does not name who told him, so there is a gap in the chain. Scholars call this kind of chain mursal. The words are a good dua, but the report that the Prophet ﷺ said them is weak.
