الكبرى للنسائي:٢٤٩٢أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنَا سَوَادَةُ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ وَلَا هَذَا الْبَيَاضُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا» يَعْنِي مُعْتَرِضًا قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ فَبَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا مَادًّا يَدَيْهِ
