Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ عَنْ سَحُورِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُؤَذِّنُ أَوْ قَالَ يُنَادِي لِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمُكُمْ وَيَنْتَبِهَ نَائِمُكُمْ لَيْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَضَمَّ يَدَهُ وَرَفَعَهَا وَلَكِنْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَفَرَّقَ يَحْيَى بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَتَيْنِ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ.
English Translation
Yahya told us, from al-Taymi, from Abu Uthman, from Ibn Mas’ud, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Let not the call to prayer of Bilal prevent any of you from your pre-dawn meal, for he calls" — or he said "announces" — "so that the one among you standing in prayer may go back to rest, and the one sleeping among you may wake up; it is not the time when he does like this" — and he brought his hand together and raised it — "but rather until he does like this" — and Yahya spread his two index fingers apart. Abu Abd al-Rahman said: I have not heard this hadith from anyone else.
