[AI] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not be deceived by the call to prayer of Bilal, nor by this blackness (referring to dark color of the Abyssinians), until it becomes like this." And he gestured with his hand in a horizontal manner.

الطبراني:٦٩٨١حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ الْقَاضِي ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَوَادِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ الْقُشَيْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدُبٍ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ وَلَا هَذَا السَّوَادُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ هَكَذَا» وَقَالَ بِيَدِهِ عَرْضًا

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.

مسلم:١٠٩٤بوَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَوَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلاَلٍ وَلاَ هَذَا الْبَيَاضُ لِعَمُودِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى يَسْتَطِيرَ هَكَذَا

muslim:1094dʿUbaydullāh b. Muʿādh from my father > Shuʿbah > Sawādah > Samurah b. Jundab / Yakhṭub Yuḥaddith

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.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ نِدَاءُ بِلاَلٍ وَلاَ هَذَا الْبَيَاضُ حَتَّى يَبْدُوَ الْفَجْرُ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ
