وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ وَالصِّيَامَ قَالَ صَلِّ كَذَا وَكَذَا وَصُمْ فَإِذَا غَابَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَكُلْ وَاشْرَبْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكَ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ [سورة البقرة: ١٨٧] وَصُمْ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْمًا إِلَّا أَنْ تَرَى الْهِلَالَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأَخَذْتُ خَيْطَيْنِ مِنْ شَعْرٍ أَسْوَدَ وَأَبْيَضَ فَكُنْتُ أَنْظُرُ فِيهِمَا فَلَا يَتَبَيَّنُ لِي فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَضَحِكَ وَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ حَاتِمٍ إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ بَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ مِنْ سَوَادِ اللَّيْلِ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Adi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me about prayer and fasting, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: At such-and-such time, perform such-and-such prayer and keep the fast; when the sun sets, then eat and drink, until the white thread becomes distinct from the black thread, and keep fasts for thirty days, unless the moon is sighted earlier. I took two threads, one black and one white, and began to look at them, but they did not become distinct for me. When I mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he smiled and said: O Ibn Hatim! By this is meant the whiteness of the day and the darkness of the night.
