English translation

2169. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said, at the time of Sahūr: 'O Anas, I want to fast, so give me something to eat.' So I brought him some dates and a vessel of water. That was after the Adhân of Bilâl. He said: 'O Anas, find a man to come and eat with me.' So I called Zaid bin Thâbit, who came and said: 'I drank some Sawîq and I want to fast.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'I also want to fast.' So he ate Sahîr with him, then he got up and prayed two Rak'ahs, then he went out to the prayer." (Da'if)

Arabic text

2167 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَلِكَ عِنْدَ السُّحُورِ: «يَا أَنَسُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ، أَطْعِمْنِي شَيْئًا»، فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِتَمْرٍ وَإِنَاءٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ، وَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ مَا أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَنَسُ، انْظُرْ رَجُلًا يَأْكُلْ مَعِي»، فَدَعَوْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ، فَجَاءَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي قَدْ شَرِبْتُ شَرْبَةَ سَوِيقٍ وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ الصِّيَامَ»، فَتَسَحَّرَ مَعَهُ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ

Commentary

Bilal used to pronounce the Adhân or the call to prayer a few minutes before the crack of dawn. The Adhân for the Fajr prayer was pronounced by 'Abdullâh bin Umm Maktum, as has been elucidated in other narrations. It, therefore, should not be imagined that Allâh's Messenger ﷺ partook of the predawn meal after the pronouncement of the Adhân for the dawn prayer.
