[2533] 33 - (1090) It was narrated from 'Adiyy bin Hâtim: "When the verse "Until the white thread appears to you distinct from the black thread of dawn"[1] was revealed, 'Adiyy [bin Hâtim] said to him: 'O Messenger of Allâh, I put two strings under my pillow, a white string and a black string, so that I can tell night from day.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Your pillow must be very big, for that refers to the blackness of the night and the whiteness of the day.'"
