Hadith of Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
حَدِيثُ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Hadith of Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Musnad Abi Ya'la 7540 — he said: When this verse was revealed: 'And
حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ النُّمَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ} [البقرة: 187] قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْخُذُ الْخَيْطَ الْأَبْيَضَ وَالْخَيْطَ الْأَسْوَدَ فَيَأْكُلُ حَتَّى يَسْتَبِينَهُمَا حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عز وجل {مِنَ الْفَجْرِ} [البقرة: 187] فَبَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When this verse was revealed: 'And eat and drink until the white thread becomes distinct to you from the black thread,' (at first) a man would take a white thread and a black thread and would carry on eating and drinking until both became clearly visible to him, until Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed the words 'of the dawn,' and with that the matter (that the threads mean the light of day and the darkness of night) became fully clear."
