1695. It was narrated that Hudhaifah said: "I ate Suhur with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ when it was daybreak but the sun had not yet risen." [(One of the narrators) Abu Ishāq said: "The Hadith of Hudhaifah is abrogated and does not mean anything."}] (Hasan)
1695 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرٍّ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ، قَالَ: «تَسَحَّرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ النَّهَارُ، إِلَّا أَنَّ الشَّمْسَ لَمْ تَطْلُعْ»

'The sun had not yet risen' means the daybreak was very near which explains delaying the predawn meal to the last time, otherwise eating and drinking after daybreak is prohibited according to the consensus. Its proof is in the following Verse of the Noble Qur'an: "Eat and drink until the white thread (light) of dawn appears to you distinct from the black thread (darkness of night)." (Al-Baqarah: 187)
