"The Messenger of Allah and Zaid bin Thabit had Sahur, then they went and started to pray Subh." We said to Anas: "How long was there between their finishing and their starting to pray?" He said: "As long as it takes a man to recite fifty Verses." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2157)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٢٤٧٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْأَشْعَثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

تَسَحَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ثُمَّ قَامَا فَدَخَلَا فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قُلْنَا لِأَنَسٍ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ فَرَاغِهِمَا وَدُخُولِهِمَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ؟ قَالَ قَدْرُ مَا يَقْرَأُ الْإِنْسَانُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً

Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet ﷺ and Zaid bin Thabit took their Suhur together. When they finished it, the Prophet ﷺ stood for the (Fajr) prayer and offered it." We asked Anas, "What was the interval between their finishing the Suhur and the starting of the morning prayer?" Anas replied, "It was equal to the time taken by a person in reciting fifty verses of the Qur'an."

(Verses of the Qur'an).
