Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَزَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ تَسَحَّرَا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَا مِنْ سَحُورِهِمَا قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَقُلْنَا لِأَنَسٍ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَ فَرَاغِهِمَا مِنْ سَحُورِهِمَا وَدُخُولِهِمَا فِي الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْرَأُ الرَّجُلُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً.
English Translation
Abd al-Wahhab told us: Sa'id told us, from Qatada, from Anas ibn Malik, that the Prophet of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and Zayd ibn Thabit ate the pre-dawn meal, and when they finished, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, got up for prayer. We said to Anas, 'How much time was there between their finishing their pre-dawn meal and their entering into prayer?' He said, 'About the time it takes a man to recite fifty verses.'
