Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّ
مَ قَالَ لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلَالٍ مِنْ سَحُورِهِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يُنَادِي أَوْ قَالَ يُؤَذِّنُ لِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمُكُمْ وَيُنَبِّهَ نَائِمَكُمْ لَيْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَلَكِنْ حَتَّى يَقُولَ هَكَذَا وَضَمَّ ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ أَبُو عَمْرٍو أَصَابِعَهُ وَصَوَّبَهَا وَفَتَحَ مَا بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ السَّبَّابَتَيْنِ يَعْنِي الْفَجْرَ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Ibn Abi 'Adiyy, from Sulayman, from Abi 'Uthman — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Let not the adhan of Bilal deter any of you from his pre-dawn meal [suhur]. For he calls — or he said: gives the adhan — so that those praying at night may return [to rest] and those sleeping may wake. [The true Fajr] is not when [the light] appears like this' — and Ibn Abi 'Adiyy Abu 'Amr gathered his fingers and pointed them downward — 'but when it appears like this' — and he spread apart his two index fingers [indicating the spreading of the true dawn on the horizon] — meaning Fajr.
