2172. It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ūd that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Bilâl calls the Adhân at night to awaken those of you who are asleep, and so that those who are praying Qiyâm can 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. (Sahîh)
٢١٧٠ - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا التَّيْمِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ لِيُنَبِّهَ نَائِمَكُمْ وَيَرْجِعَ قَائِمَكُمْ، وَلَيْسَ الْفَجْرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِكَفِّهِ وَلَكِنِ الْفَجْرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَتَيْنِ».

[1] Al-Baqarah 2:187.
1. Bilal used to call the Adhân a little before dawn, so that people might stand forth and become free doing their chores, and be able to catch the congregational prayer. This is because it happens to be the time for relieving oneself, taking bath, etc. 2. "So that those praying Qiyâm can return." means that the man who is engaged in offering the night vigil prayer may shorten it and take rest for a little while, so that sluggishness may not engulf him while performing the dawn prayer.
