Maktaba as Salafiya

An Important Benefit regarding as-Sahoor

The Hadith:

إِذَا سَمِعَ أَحَدُكُمُ النِّدَاءَ وَالإِنَاءُ عَلَى يَدِهِ فَلاَ)
(يَضَعْهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِىَ حَاجَتَهُ مِنْهُ

“If one of you hears the Athaan while the cup is in his hand then let
him not put it down until he fulfills his need from It “

This hadith has been Reported by Abu Daawud in his Sunan(6/456) ,
Ahmad in his Musnad (2/510), al Haakim in his al Mustadrak, al
Bayhaqee in his sunan and ad- Daaraqutnee in his sunan.

Al Imaam Abu Haatim Muhammad bin Idrees(One of the Scholars of
Hadeeth), may Allaah have mercy upon him, has declared this hadith to
be unauthenticated and also ash Shaykh Muqbil, may Allaah have mercy
upon him, has declared this hadith to be Da’eef.

The Reference: al I’lal I (1/123), al Ahaadeeth al Mu’alah , page
437,print: Daarul Athaar.

Also the opinion of ash Shaykh Albaany, may Allaah have mercy upon
him, is confined to if the food or drink is in the hand of the person
not if it were on the table or in the fridge, as found in his book “as
silsilah as saheehah”, number (1894).

Rather we should all follow what Allaah, The Most High, said in his
Noble Quraan:

وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ)
(مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ

"You may eat and drink until the white thread (of light) becomes
distinguishable for you from the dark thread of the night at dawn.”
