1696. It was narrated from 'Abdullāh bin Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The Adhān of Bilāl should not prevent anyone of you from eating Suhur, for he gives the Adhān to alert those among you who are asleep, and so that anyone who is praying can prepare himself for fasting. the Fajr does not come in this manner, rather it comes in this manner and it appears along the horizon." (Sahih)
1696 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ مِنْ سُحُورِهِ، فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَذِّنُ لِيَنْتَبِهَ نَائِمُكُمْ، وَلِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمُكُمْ، وَلَيْسَ الْفَجْرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا، وَلَكِنْ هَكَذَا، يَعْتَرِضُ فِي أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ»

a. The two Adhān for Fajr are Sunnah; one Adhān is called before dawn, which is normally called the predawn Adhân; and the second one is called exactly at the appearance of dawn. b. It is better to appoint different callers for both Adhân so that the people would know which Adhân is being called by recognising the voice. 'Abdullâh bin Umm Makturn ﷺ was appointed in the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ to call the Adhân for the Morning Prayer. c. The Prophet ﷺ explained the difference between the false morning and the true morning with an indication. The indication he made about the spread of light was 'vertical' which means false morning, and the second indication was horizontal which indicates the appearance of the true morning (dawn).
