896. 'Amr bin Maimūn narrated: "We were halted at Jama' when 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb said: "The idolaters would not depart until the sun had risen and they would say: "Let the sun shine on Thabir"[1] and indeed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ contradicted them." So 'Umar departed before the rising of the sun." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
In the era of Jahiliyyah (the Period of Ignorance) people used to sit and wait for the sunrise. The affirmation of sunrise was that the mount of Thabir would shine. While sitting and waiting for the sunrise they used to say "O Thabir shine up." In Ibn Majah there is the addition of the words "so we could attack."
