MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND

ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY

“ Zayd Ibn-Thābit said, "We and the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him had the pre-dawn meal (1) then got up to pray (the dawn prayer) (2)." Anas Ibn-Mālik asked Zayd, "How long was the interval?(3)" Zayd replied, "As long as [reciting] fifty verses [of the Qur'ān] (4)." Footnotes: (1) Saḥūr: An optional, yet desirable meal eaten before dawn by Muslims planning to fast that day. (2) First prescribed prayer of the day that takes place before sunrise. (3) between the meal and the time for prayer. (4) Reciting fifty verses of the Qur'ān takes approximately four to six minutes, which indicates that the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, and his companions delayed their pre-dawn meal until there was only a short time before the dawn prayer (i.e. the beginning of fasting). ”

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ آلَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ نِسَائِهِ شَهْرًا فَأَقَامَ فِى مَشْرُبَةٍ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ آلَيْتَ شَهْرًا فَقَالَ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Companions exclaimed, 'Messenger of God, your oath was for a month!' He replied, ‘A month is [at times] twenty-nine days.'” Click on ḥadīth to read more
