703. Anas (bin Mālik) narrated that Zaid bin Thābit said: "We ate Sahūr with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, then we stood for the Salāt." I (Anas) said: "How long was that?" He said: "About the length of fifty Āyahs." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

٧٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَحْيَى بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ، عَنْ ‌قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ ‌زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: «تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَمْ كَانَ قَدْرُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: قَدْرُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً.

Commentary

Reading fifty Verses slowly, according to the true pronunciation and rules of recitation, takes about five to seven minutes. Accordingly, it may be said that the interval of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ between his predawn meal and the call to morning prayer was only five to seven minutes or less than that; a narration of Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī also clarifies this issue. (Ḥadīth 575-1921)
