[Machine] "When the verse {And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread [of night]} [Surah Al-Baqarah: 187] was revealed, I hung two headbands, one white and one black, under my pillow. I would wake up at night and look, but it would not become clear to me. When morning came, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He smiled and said, 'If your pillow is thick, then it is the whiteness of the day due to the darkness of the night.'"  

لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ} [البقرة 187] مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ الْآيَةَ عَمَدْتُ إِلَى عِقَالَيْنِ عِقَالٍ أَبْيَضَ وَعِقَالٍ أَسْوَدَ فَجَعَلْتُهُمَا تَحْتَ وِسَادَتِي فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُومُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَأَنْظُرُ فَلَا يَتَبَيَّنُ لِي فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَضَحِكَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ وِسَادُكَ لَعَرِيضًا إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ بَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ مِنْ سَوَادِ اللَّيْلِ  

[Machine] This verse was revealed {and eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread} [Surah Al-Baqarah 187], and it did not reveal {of dawn} [Surah Al-Baqarah 187]. He said, "There were men among us who, when they wanted to fast, would tie a white thread and a black thread around one of their legs. He would continue to eat and drink until he could distinguish between the two threads. Then Allah, the Most High, revealed after that {of dawn} [Surah Al-Baqarah 187], so they knew that it only meant the night and the day." Ibn Abi Maryam said, "Ibn Abi Hazim narrated to me from his father from Sahl bin Saad in a similar manner."  

نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ} [البقرة 187] وَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ {مِنَ الْفَجْرِ} [البقرة 187] قَالَ وَكَانَ رِجَالٌ إِذَا أَرَادُوا الصَّوْمَ رَبَطَ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ الْخَيْطَ الْأَبْيَضَ وَالْخَيْطَ الْأَسْوَدَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يَأْكُلُ وَيَشْرَبُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ رُؤْيَتُهُمَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ {مِنَ الْفَجْرِ} [البقرة 187] فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ وَحَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ بِنَحْوِهِ  

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). (Using translation from Muslim 1094c)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ مِنْ سُحُورِكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ وَلَا بَيَاضُ الْأُفُقِ الْمُسْتَطِيلِ هَكَذَا حَتَّى يَسْتَطِيرَ هَكَذَا وَحَكَى حَمَّادٌ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ يَعْنِي مُعْتَرِضًا  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: They are two dawns. As for the one that appears like the tail of a fox, then it does not make anything permissible or impermissible. And as for the elongated one that extends along the horizon, then it makes the prayer permissible and prohibits eating. This hadith is transmitted and has been mentioned with reference to Jabir ibn Abdullah."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ هُمَا فَجْرَانِ فَأَمَّا الَّذِي كَأَنَّهُ ذَنَبُ السِّرْحَانِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُحِلُّ شَيْئًا وَلَا يُحَرِّمُهُ وَأَمَّا الْمُسْتَطِيلُ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُ بِالْأُفُقِ فَإِنَّهُ يُحِلُّ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُحَرِّمُ الطَّعَامَ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مَوْصُولًا بِذِكْرِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فِيهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are two types of dawn. As for the first, it does not prohibit eating nor does it permit prayer. As for the second, it prohibits eating and permits prayer." This is the wording of a hadith reported by Ibn Muhriz, and in the narration of Amr al-Naqid it is reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are two types of dawn. One type allows eating and prohibits prayer, and the other type allows prayer and prohibits eating." Abu Ahmad al-Zubayri narrated it, and it was also reported by others from al-Thawri, attributed to Ibn Abbas.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرُ فَجْرَانِ فَأَمَّا الْأَوَّلُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُحَرِّمُ الطَّعَامَ وَلَا يُحِلُّ الصَّلَاةَ وَأَمَّا الثَّانِي فَإِنَّهُ يُحَرِّمُ الطَّعَامَ وَيُحِلُّ الصَّلَاةَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مُحْرِزٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَمْرٍو النَّاقِدِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْفَجْرُ فَجْرَانِ فَجْرٌ يَحِلُّ فِيهِ الطَّعَامُ وَتَحْرُمُ فِيهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَفَجْرٌ تَحِلُّ فِيهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَيَحْرُمُ فِيهِ الطَّعَامُ أَسْنَدَهُ أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ عَنِ الثَّوْرِيِّ مَوْقُوفًا عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
