حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ يَحْيَی عَنْ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَکُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ مِنْ سَحُورِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَذِّنُ أَوْ قَالَ يُنَادِي لِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمَکُمْ وَيُنَبِّهَ نَائِمَکُمْ وَلَيْسَ الْفَجْرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَکَذَا وَجَمَعَ يَحْيَی کَفَّيْهِ حَتَّی يَقُولَ هَکَذَا وَمَدَّ يَحْيَی إِصْبَعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَتَيْنِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 7247
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: Allah's Apostle said, "The (call for prayer) Adhan of Bilal should not stop anyone of you from taking his Suhur for he pronounces the Adhan in order that whoever among you is praying the night prayer, may return (to eat his Suhur) and whoever among you is sleeping, may get up, for it is not yet dawn (when it is like this)." (Yahya, the sub-narrator stretched his two index fingers side ways).
