عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدُبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا يَمْنَعَنَّكُمْ مِنْ سَحُورِكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ، وَلَا الْفَجْرُ الْمُسْتَطِيلُ، وَلَكِنِ الْفَجْرُ الْمُسْتَطِيرُ فِي الْأُفُقِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The adhan of Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and the false dawn should not prevent you from eating suhoor; but when the spreading light appears on the horizon, that is, the true dawn, then stop eating.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … because Sayyiduna Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) used to give the first adhan, which was given at night, a little before the break of dawn (tulu‘ al-fajr). When the light rises on the eastern horizon like the tail of a wolf, it is called the false dawn (fajr kadhdhib).
