Arabic text

2169 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: {حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ} [البقرة: 187] مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: «هُوَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَبَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ»
