Sahih Muslim 1094b (Book 13, Hadith 51) #9690
Not Being Misled by False Dawn

SUMMARY: The hadith is about not being misled by the Adhan of Bilal or the whiteness of dawn, as it may not be the true dawn.

Samura b. Jundub reported Allah's Messenger as saying: The Adhan of Bilal should not mislead you nor the whiteness (of the pillar) of dawn, for it is not the whiteness of the true dawn, but that of the false dawn which is vertical like a pillar and you can eat food till the streaks of whiteness spread like it.
وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَوَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ، - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ أَذَانُ بِلاَلٍ وَلاَ هَذَا الْبَيَاضُ - لِعَمُودِ الصُّبْحِ - حَتَّى يَسْتَطِيرَ هَكَذَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about not being misled by certain signs that may appear to be indicators of true dawn. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that one should not be fooled by the call to prayer from Bilal or the whiteness in the sky at night because it could just be false dawn which looks like a pillar and can easily mislead people. He also said that one can eat food until they see streaks of white in the sky which indicate true dawn has arrived. This hadith teaches us to pay attention to details and look for signs before making decisions so we don't get fooled into believing something that isn't true. It also teaches us patience and self-control as we must wait until we are sure before taking action on something important such as eating food during Ramadan when fasting is required during daylight hours only.
