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. ”

Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب الصلاة باب ما جاء فى فضل الصلوات الخمس

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الصَّلَوَاتُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا لَمْ تُغْشَ الْكَبَائِرُ. قَالَوَ فِى الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَأَنَسٍ وَحَنْظَلَةَ الأُسَيِّدِىِّ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "The five prayers and Friday prayer to Friday prayer are expiation of what was [committed] between them as long as no grave sins are committed (1)." Footnote (1): This means that all sins are forgiven, except grave sins, which need true repentance in order to be forgiven. Click on ḥadīth to read more
