Chapter 30 What is dawn
باب كَيْفَ الْفَجْرُ ‏‏

It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Bilal calls the Adhan at night to awaken those of you who are asleep, and so that those who are praying Qiyam cam return. Dawn is not when the light appears like this" - and he gestured with his hand - "rather dawn is when it appears like this: - and he gestured with his two forefingers. '

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ بِلاَلاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ لِيُنَبِّهَ نَائِمَكُمْ وَيُرْجِعَ قَائِمَكُمْ وَلَيْسَ الْفَجْرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ بِكَفِّهِ ‏"‏ وَلَكِنِ الْفَجْرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَتَيْنِ ‏.‏

Samurah said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said; 'DO not be confused by the Adhan of Bilal, or by this whiteness, until dawn appears like this" - meaning horizontally. (One of the narrators) Abu Dawud said: "And he spread out his hands gesturing to the right and left."

أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَنْبَأَنَا سَوَادَةُ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلاَلٍ وَلاَ هَذَا الْبَيَاضُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي مُعْتَرِضًا ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَبَسَطَ بِيَدَيْهِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً مَادًّا يَدَيْهِ ‏.‏
