باب فَضْل تَعْجِيل الفِطْرِ
وما يُفْطَرُ عَليهِ وما يَقُولُهُ بَعْدَ الإِفْطَارِ
وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّه عَنْهُ ، قالَ : كانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم يُفْطِرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلى رُطَبَاتٍ ، فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رُطَبَاتٌ فَتُمَيرْاتٌ ، فإِنْ لمْ تَكُنْ تُميرْاتٌ حَسَا حَسَواتٍ مِنْ ماءٍ رواه أبو داود ، والترمذي وقال : حديثٌ حسنٌ .

The Superiority of Hastening to Break the Fast, and the supplication to say upon Breaking it
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to break his Saum (fasting) before performing Maghrib prayer with three fresh date-fruits; if there were no fresh date-fruits, he will eat three dry dates; and if there were no dry date-fruits; he would take three draughts of water.[At-Tirmidhi].


Commentary:
It is well to keep the priorities of things mentioned in the Hadith as one gets the reward of following the Sunnah in breaking his Saum.
