‏الصيام (The Book of Fasting)
CHAPTER: THE TIMING OF FAST BEGINS WITH DAWN  

No. 2396

'Adi b. Hatim (Allaah be pleased with him) reported that when (this verse) was revealed:" Until the white streak of the dawn becomes distinct from the dark streak" (ii. 187) Adi b. Hatim said: Messenger of Allaah, verily I keep underneath my pillow two strings, one white and the other black, by which I distinguish night from dawn. Upon this the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Your pillow seems to be very large. For the word khait implies the blackness of the night and the whiteness of the dawn.

No. 2397

Sahl b. Sa'd said that when this verse was revealed:" Eat and drink till the white streak is distinct from the dark streak," a person would take hold of a white thread and a black thread and keep on eating till he could find them distinct (in the light of the dawn). It was then that Allaah, the Majestic and Great, reveiled (the words) min al-fajr (from the dawn), and then it became clear (that the word khait refers to the streak of light in the dawn).

No. 2398

Sahl b. Sa'd (Allaah be pleased with him) said: When this verse was reveal- ed." Eat and drink till the white streak becomes distinct from the dark streak for you," the person who decided to observe fast tied on one of his feet a black thread and on the other a white thread. And he went on eating and drinking till he could distinguish (between their colour) on seeing them. It was after this that Allaah reveal- ed (the words): min al-fajr. And they (the Muslims) came to know that (the word khait) refers to the night and day.

No. 2399

'Abdullah b. Mas'ud (Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had said: Bilal would pronounce Adhan (at the fag end of the night in order to inform the people about the time of the Sahri). So you eat and drink till you hear the Adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum (which was pro- nounced at the conclusion of the Sahri and the commencement of the fast).

No. 2400

Abdullah b. 'Umar (Allaah be pleased with both of them) reported: I heard the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: Bilal announces Adhan during the night, so you eat and drink, till you hear the Adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum.

No. 2401

Ibn 'Umar (Allaah be pleased with both of them) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had two Mu'adhdhins, Bilal and son of Umm Maktum, the blind. The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Bilal announces Adhan at (the fag end of the) night (i. e. Sahri), so eat and drink till the son of Umm Maktum announces Adhan. And he (the narrator) said: And the (difference of time) between their (Adhans) was not more than this that one climbed down (from the minaret) and the other climbed up (to announce Adhan).

No. 2402

A hadith like this has been transmitted on the authority of 'A'isha (Allaah be pleased with her).

No. 2403

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of 'Ubaidullah on the two chains of transmitters.

No. 2404

Ibn Mas'ud (Allaah be pleased with him) reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying The Adhan of Bilal should not restrain anyone among you from eating Sahur (last meal before daybreak during the month of Ramadan) for he announces Adhan (or he calls) at (the fag end of) the night to make him turn who stands for prayer among you, and to awaken those who are sleeping among you. And he said: The dawn is not like it, as one says (and he lifted his hand) till he (dispersed his fingers) and said: It is like this.

No. 2405

This hadith has been narrated by Sulaiman al-Taimi with the same chain of transmitters (but with a slight variation of words) that he (the Prophet) said: The dawn is not like it as it is said; he then gathered his fingers and lowered them. But he said, it is like this (and he placed the index finger upon the other one and spread his hand).

No. 2406

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Sulaiman Taimi with the same chain of transmitters and, at the end, it was said that the first Adhan was meant to awaken those who were in slumber amongst them and in order to make them turn who stand in (prayer) among them (towards food at the commencement of the fast). Jarir (one of the narrators) said that the Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) did not say like this but he said like it (true dawn) that the streaks of (true dawn ) are horizontal and not vertical.

No. 2407

Samura b. Jandub reported Muhammad (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying. The call of Bilal may not mislead any one of you (and he may, under the wrong impression gathered from it, refrain) from taking meal before the commencement of the fast (for the streaks) of this whiteness (which are vertical indicate the false dawn and the true dawn with which the fast commences is that when the streaks of light are) spread.

No. 2408

Samura b. Jundub reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The Adhan of Bilal should not mislead you nor the whiteness (of the pillar) of dawn, for it is not the whiteness of the true dawn, but that of the false dawn which is vertical like a pillar and you can eat food till the streaks of whiteness spread like it.

No. 2409

Samura b. Jundub (Allaah be pleased with him) reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The Adhan of Bilal may not mislead you with regard to your food at the commencement of the fast, nor the vertical (streaks) of whiteness in the horizon (for it is an indication of false dawn). You should stop eating (food) till (the whiteness) spreads like it. Hammad narrated it and with the gesture of his band he explained, the horizontal position (of the streaks of light).

No. 2410

Samura b. Jundub addressed and narrated from the Prophet of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) having said (these words): Neither the call of Bilal should mislead you nor this whiteness (of false dawn) till (the true) dawn appears (or he said) till the dawn breaks.

No. 2411

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Samura b. Jundub.
