Sahih al-Bukhari 621

Hadith text

Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Adhan pronounced by Bilal should not stop you from taking Suhur, for he pronounces the Adhan at night, so that the one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among you might hurry up and the sleeping from among you might wake up. It does not mean that dawn or morning has started." Then he (the Prophet) pointed with his fingers and raised them up (towards the sky) and then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas`ud imitated the gesture of the Prophet). Az-Zuhri gestured with his two index fingers which he put on each other and then stretched them to the right and left. These gestures illustrate the way real dawn appears. It spreads left and right horizontally. The dawn that appears in the high sky and lowers down is not the real dawn

Abdullah bin Mas'ud (رضی اللہ عنہ) se riwayat hai ke Nabi ne farmaya: "Bilal ki Adhan tumhe Sehri khaane se na roke, kyunke woh raat ko Adhan deta hai, taake tum mein se tahajjud padhne wala jaldi kare aur sone wala jaag jaaye. Iska matlab yeh nahi ke fajr ya subah ho gayi hai." Phir Nabi ne apni ungliyon se ishara kiya, unhe upar (aasman ki taraf) uthaya, phir neeche (zameen ki taraf) laaye (Ibn Mas'ud ne Nabi ka yeh ishara dikhaya). Az-Zuhri ne apni do ungliyaan ek-doosre par rakh kar dahine-baayen phaila kar ishara kiya. Yeh ishare asli fajr ke phailne ka tareeqa dikhate hain, jo dahine-baayen euphuk mein phailti hai. Jo fajr oonchi jagah aasman mein zahir hokar neeche aati hai, woh asli fajr nahi hoti.
