أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَی حَتَّی يَتَبَيَّنَ لَکُمْ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنْ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ قَالَ هُوَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَبَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2175
It was narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said, at the time of Sahur: O' ‘Anas, I want to fast, so give me something to eat.’ So I brought him some dates and a vessel of water.That was after the Adhan of Bilal.He said:O ‘Anas, find a man to come and eat with me.’ So I called Zaid bin Thabit, who came and said: ‘I drank some Sawiq and I want to fast.’ The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم : said: ‘I also want to fast.’ So he ate Sahur with him, then he got up and prayed two Rak’ahs, then he went out to the prayer.” (Da’if)
