In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful
Imam al-Nawawi records in his book Meadows of the Righteous:
باب فضل من فطَّر صائمًا وفضل الصائم الذي يؤكل عنده ودعاء الآكل للمأكول عنده
Chapter on the virtue of one helping break another’s fast, and the virtue of the fasting person who sees others eating in front of him, and the supplication of the one eating for those who fed him.

Zayd ibn Khalid reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
مَنْ فَطَّرَ صَائِمًا كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أَجْرِ الصَّائِمِ شَيْئًا
Whoever helps break the fast of a fasting person, he will have the same reward as him without decreasing anything from the reward of the fasting person.

Umm ‘Umarah bint Ka’b reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, entered her home and she served him food. The Prophet said:
كُلِي
Will you eat?
She said, “Indeed, I am fasting.” The Prophet said:
إِنَّ الصَّائِمَ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِذَا أُكِلَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا
Verily, angels send blessings upon a fasting person when others eat in their presence until they finish.

Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, came to the home of Sa’d ibn ‘Ubadah, who presented him with bread and olive oil. The Prophet ate them and he said:
أَفْطَرَ عِنْدَكُمْ الصَّائِمُونَ وَأَكَلَ طَعَامَكُمْ الْأَبْرَارُ وَصَلَّتْ عَلَيْكُمْ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
The fasting have broken their fast with you, the righteous have eaten your food, and the angels send blessings upon you.
