أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ لِيُوقِظَ نَائِمَکُمْ وَلِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمَکُمْ وَلَيْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَکَذَا يَعْنِي فِي الصُّبْحِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 645
It was narrated from Ibn Mas’ud that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “Bilal calls the Adhan during the night to wake those who are sleeping and so that those who are praying Qiyam can return. Not to say it is like this.” The break of dawn is not like this. (Sahih)
