Is the word "عند" (at the time of/upon) in "supplication upon drinking Zamzam water" and "the fasting person's supplication upon breaking his fast" meant to be before, after, or during the drinking and eating?

The apparent understanding is that supplication (du'a') should be made after breaking the fast (), as stated in the books of the Hanbali and Shafi'i schools of thought. It is preferable to supplicate after breaking the fast rather than during it or before it. As for supplication when drinking Zamzam water, it should be made after finishing the drink.
