MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him said, "Indeed, neither Bilāl's (2) call to prayer (3) nor the vertical dawn (4)should deprive you of your pre-dawn meal (1); rather it is the dawn which spreads along the horizon (5) (that signals the start of fasting)." Footnotes: (1) Saḥūr: an optional, yet desirable, meal eaten before dawn by Muslims planning to fast that day. (2) Bilāl Ibn-Rabāḥ is one of the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, who is famous for calling for prayers in Madīnah. (3) The call to prayer (Athān) is a long call announcing the time of prayer. It is usually made up to twenty minutes before the commencement of prayer to give worshippers time to prepare for prayer; it is called even longer before the dawn prayer (Fajr), the first prescribed prayer of the day that takes place before sunrise. (4) The vertical dawn, also known as the false dawn, is indicated by rays that spread vertically in the sky. This occurs about twenty minutes before the true dawn. (5) The second dawn, also known as the true dawn, is indicated by a white line that spreads parallel to the horizon. The occurrence of the true dawn signals the start of the dawn prayer's time and, consequentially, the beginning of fasting. ”

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُحَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِى صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم زَائِرَاتِ الْقُبُورِ وَالْمَتَّخِذِينَ عَلَيْهَا الْمَسَاجِدَ وَالسُّرُجَ. قَالَ وَفِى الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ. وَأَبُو صَالِحٍ هَذَا هُوَ مَوْلَى أُمِّ هَانِئٍ بِنْتِ أَبِى طَالِبٍ وَاسْمُهُ بَاذَانُ وَيُقَالُ بَاذَامُ أَيْضًا.

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, cursed the female visitors of graves (1), and those who build mosques and place lanterns over them. Footnotes: (1) At-Tirmithī mentioned in the Book of Funerals that some scholars were of the opinion that this was before the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, permitted visiting graves and that this permission included both men and women.
