حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُلَازِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي طَلْقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا يَهِيدَنَّكُمُ السَّاطِعُ الْمُصْعِدُ ، وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَعْتَرِضَ لَكُمُ الْأَحْمَرُ " . قَالَ : وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ ، وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ ، وَسَمُرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ طَلْقِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ، أَنَّهُ لَا يَحْرُمُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ الْأَكْلُ وَالشُّرْبُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْفَجْرُ الْأَحْمَرُ الْمُعْتَرِضُ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ عَامَّةُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ .
´Talq bin Ali narrated that :` The Messenger of Allah said: "Eat and drink, and do not be disturbed by the rising glow, eat and drink until the redness appears to you on the horizon."

Brief Explanation
1؎: By «الساطع المصعد» is meant the false dawn (fajr kadhib), and by «الاحمر» is meant the true dawn (subh sadiq). Some people have deduced from this hadith that eating and drinking is permissible until the appearance of fajr, but the majority (jumhur) say that as soon as fajr is established, eating and drinking become prohibited. They answer this narration by saying that the phrase «الاحمر» is used on the basis of proximity, because with the rising of fajr, redness (humrah) appears; thus, the establishment of fajr has been referred to as «الاحمر».

Benefits and Issues:
The correct view is that whiteness begins to spread on the horizons. However, sometimes when the weather is cloudy, a kind of redness also appears to be spreading, but in normal circumstances, it is the whiteness that spreads, not the redness.
