Jami` at-Tirmidhi 704
حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، بِنَحْوِهِ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدْرُ قِرَاءَةِ خَمْسِينَ آيَةً . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ الشَّافِعِيُّ وَأَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ اسْتَحَبُّوا تَأْخِيرَ السُّحُورِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Another chain transmits similar wording, except that it says: About the time needed to recite fifty verses. A report on this topic is also narrated from Hudhayfah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Zayd ibn Thabit is hasan sahih. This is the view of al-Shafii, Ahmad, and Ishaq, who recommend delaying the pre-dawn meal.
