2173. Samurah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Do not be confused by the Adhân of Bilâl, or by this whiteness, until dawn appears like this" – meaning horizontally. (One of the narrators) Abû Dâwûd said: "And he spread out his hands gesturing to the right and left." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

2171 - أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَنْبَأَنَا سَوَادَةُ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ، يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ، وَلَا هَذَا الْبَيَاضُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الْفَجْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا - يَعْنِي مُعْتَرِضًا -» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «وَبَسَطَ بِيَدَيْهِ يَمِينًا وَشِمَالًا مَادًّا يَدَيْهِ»

Commentary

Nonetheless, the Adhân pronounced by Bilal was not for the night vigil prayer or the Tahajjud, because there is no Adhân for the optional accretional prayer; It is invariably for the dawn prayer, but a little ahead of its time.
