حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

رضى الله عنه عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ بِلَالاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا تَأْذِينَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had said: Bilal would pronounce Adhan (at the fag end of the night in order to inform the people about the time of the Sahri). So you eat and drink till you hear the Adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum (which was pro- nounced at the conclusion of the Sahri and the commencement of the fast).

ہمیں ابوداؤد ( طیالسی ) نے شعبہ سے حدیث سنائی کہ قتادہ نے کہا : میں نے مطرف بن عبد اللہ بن شخیر سے سنا ۔ ابوداؤد نے ( مزید ) کہا : اور ہشام نے مجھے حدیث سنائی انہوں نے قتادہ سے ، انہوں نے مطرف سے ، انہوں نے حضرت عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا سے اور انہوں نے نبی اکرمﷺ سے یہ حدیث روایت کی ۔

Bize Muhammed b. EI-Müsennâ rivayet etti. (Dediki Bize Ebu Dâvud rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize Şu'be rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bana Katâde haber verdi. Dediki: Mutarrif b. Abdillâh b. Şıhîr'den dinledim. Ebu Dâvud: «Bana da Hişâm, Katâdeden, o da Mutarrif den, o da Aişe'den, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'den naklen bu hdlsi rivayet etti.» demiş. Bu rivayetler Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem)'in rüku ve sücudda okuduğu tesbih ve duaları göstermektedirler

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had two Muezzins: Bilāl ibn Rabāh and ‘Abdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm, who was blind. Bilāl (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make the Adhān for the Fajr prayer before the break of dawn, because this prayer occurs at the time of sleep and people need to get ready for it before its time.

Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) notified his Companions that Bilāl (may Allah be pleased with him) would call the Adhān during the night, and ordered them to eat and drink until the break of dawn, when the second Muezzin, ‘Abdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm (may Allah be pleased with him), would call the second Adhān.

This was addressed to whoever intended to fast. So, at that point a person should stop eating and drinking, since the time for prayer would start. This is specific to the Fajr prayer, as it is not permissible in any other prayer to call the Adhān before its due time starts. There is a difference in scholarly opinion concerning the first Adhān for the Fajr prayer: Is it sufficient, or is the second Adhān, which indicates the beginning of the prayer time, necessary?

The majority of scholars are of the opinion that the first Adhān is permissible, but not sufficient.
