Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ قُلْتُ كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ قَدْرُ مَا يَقْرَأُ الرَّجُلُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً.
English Translation
Yahya told us, from Hisham: Qatada told us, from Anas, from Zayd ibn Thabit, who said: We ate the pre-dawn meal with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, then we went out to the mosque and the prayer was called. I said: "How much time was between them?" He said: "About the time it takes a man to recite fifty verses."
