Sahih Muslim 1092a (Book 13, Hadith 42) #9681
The Time for Sahri

SUMMARY: Bilal would announce Adhan at the end of the night to inform people about the time for Sahri, and they should eat and drink until they hear Ibn Umm Maktum's Adhan which marks the end of Sahri and beginning of fasting.

'Abdullah b. Mas'ud (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah had said: Bilal would pronounce Adhan (at the fag end of the night in order to inform the people about the time of the Sahri). So you eat and drink till you hear the Adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum (which was pronounced at the conclusion of the Sahri and the commencement of the fast).
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ، قَالاَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ، سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، - رضى الله عنه - عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ بِلاَلاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا تَأْذِينَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ

After having Suhoor, Muslims should wait until they hear another call from Ibn Umm Maktum which marks the end of Suhoor and start of fasting.
