Dua for the iftar host
أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمُ الصَّائِمُوْنَ ، وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمُ الأَبْرَارُ ، وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ.
اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِيْ مَا رَزَقْتَهُمْ ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ.
Translation :
May the fasting open their fasts with you, the pious eat your food, and the angels pray for blessings on you.
O Allah, bless them in what You have provided them, forgive them and have mercy upon them.

Hadith:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit Sa’d ibn Ubaydah (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu), and he brought bread and olive oil, and he ate (them). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said [the above]. (Abū Dāwūd 3854, Ibn Mājah 1747)
Jābir (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated that Abū al-Haytham ibn at-Tayyihān made some food for the Prophet ﷺ. He invited the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions. When they had finished, [the Prophet ﷺ] said: “Repay and reward your brother.” “O Messenger of Allah, what is his reward?” they asked. He replied: “When a man’s house is entered, his food eaten, his drink is drunk, and then they supplicate for him, that is his reward and repayment.” (Abū Dāwūd 3853)
‘Abdullah bin Busr (raḍiy A
llāhu ‘anhuma) reported: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came as a guest to my father. We brought him food and a waterskin with milk and he ate from it. Then he was brought dates, and he ate one of them, placed the date-stone between his fingers, and put his index and middle fingers together. Then he was brought a drink and he drank. After that he passed it to the person on his right.
He (the narrator) said: My father took hold of the rein of his riding animal and requested him to supplicate for us. Thereupon he said [the above].” (Muslim 2042)
