they took the Suhur (predawn meal) with the Prophet ﷺ and then stood up for the (morning) prayer. I asked him: "How long was the interval between the two (Suhur and Fajr)?" He replied: "The interval between the two was just sufficient to recite fifty or sixty ayah."
«أَنَّهُمْ تَسَحَّرُوا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، ثُمَّ قَامُوا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، قُلْتُ: كَمْ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ قَالَ: قَدْرُ خَمْسِينَ أَوْ سِتِّينَ يَعْنِي آيَةً»
Zaid bin Thabit said, "We took the Suhur with the Prophet ﷺ . Then he stood for the prayer." I asked, "What was the interval between the Suhur and the Adhan?" He replied, "The interval was sufficient to recite fifty verses of the Qur'an."
تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ الأَذَانِ وَالسَّحُورِ قَالَ قَدْرُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً
We took meal shortly before dawn along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We then stood up for ˹Fajr˺ prayer. I said: How much span of time was there between the two (Suhur and Fajr)? He said: ˹a span of reciting˺ fifty verses.
تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ قَدْرُ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا؟ قَالَ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً۔
"How long was there between them?" He said: "As long as it takes a man to recite fifty verses."
تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ الرَّجُلُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً
“We ate Suhur with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ then we got up to perform prayer.” I said: “How long was there between the two?” He said: “As long as it takes to recite fifty verses.”
