Hadith 21585

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ، قَالَ : تَسَحَّرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَأُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ ، قُلْتُ : كَمْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا ؟ قَالَ : " قَدْرُ مَا يَقْرَأُ الرَّجُلُ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we ate sahur with the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, then we went out towards the mosque and the prayer was established. The narrator asked, "What was the interval between the two?" He replied, "As long as it takes a man to recite fifty verses."
