باب وَقْتِ السُّحُورِ

English narration

Narrated by عدي بن حاتم الطائي

Narrated Adi bin Hatim: When the verse "Until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread" was revealed, I took a white rope and a black rope, and placed them beneath my pillow ; and then I looked at them, byt they were not clear to me. So I mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He laughed and said: Your pillow is so broad and lengthy ; that is (i. e. means) night and day. The version of the narrator Uthman has: That is the blackness of night and whiteness of day.

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ سورة البقرة آية 187 ، قَالَ : أَخَذْتُ عِقَالًا أَبْيَضَ وَعِقَالًا أَسْوَدَ فَوَضَعْتُهُمَا تَحْتَ وِسَادَتِي ، فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَبَيَّنْ ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَضَحِكَ ، فَقَالَ : "

إِنَّ وِسَادَكَ لَعَرِيضٌ طَوِيلٌ ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ

" . وقَالَ عُثْمَانُ : " إِنَّمَا هُوَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَبَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ " .
