English translation

621. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ūd رضي الله عنه: The Prophet ﷺ said, "The Adhān pronounced by Bilāl should not stop you from taking Sahūr, for he pronounces the Adhān at night, so that the one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among you might hurry up and the sleeping from among you might wake up. It does not mean that Al-Fajr (dawn) or Aṣ-Subh (morning) has started." Then he (the Prophet ﷺ) pointed with his fingers and raised them up (towards the sky) and then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas'ūd imitated the gesture of the Prophet ﷺ). Az-Zaheer gestured with his two index fingers which he put on each other and then stretched them to the right and left. These gestures illustrate the way real dawn appears. It spreads left and right horizontally.

621 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لاَ يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ - أَوْ أَحَدًا مِنْكُمْ - أَذَانُ بِلاَلٍ مِنْ سَحُورِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَذِّنُ - أَوْ يُنَادِي بِلَيْلٍ - لِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمَكُمْ، وَلِيُنَبِّهَ نَائِمَكُمْ، وَلَيْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ الفَجْرُ - أَوِ الصُّبْحُ -» وَقَالَ بِأَصَابِعِهِ وَرَفَعَهَا إِلَى فَوْقُ وَطَأْطَأَ إِلَى أَسْفَلُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَقَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: «بِسَبَّابَتَيْهِ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَوْقَ الأُخْرَى، ثُمَّ مَدَّهَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَشِمَالِهِ»
