حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُلاَزِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ طَلْقٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي طَلْقُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلاَ يَهِيدَنَّكُمُ السَّاطِعُ الْمُصْعِدُ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَعْتَرِضَ لَكُمُ الأَحْمَرُ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ وَسَمُرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ طَلْقِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ . وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ لاَ يَحْرُمُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ الأَكْلُ وَالشُّرْبُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْفَجْرُ الأَحْمَرُ الْمُعْتَرِضُ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ عَامَّةُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Talq ibn Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: Eat and drink, and do not let the rising vertical glow alarm you. Eat and drink until the red light spreads across the horizon. Reports on this topic are also narrated from Adi ibn Hatim, Abu Dharr, and Samurah. Abu Isa said: The hadith of Talq ibn Ali is hasan gharib through this route. The people of knowledge act upon it: eating and drinking are not forbidden for a fasting person until the horizontal red dawn appears. This is the view of the great majority of the people of knowledge.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The contrast is between the first vertical light and the later horizontal red dawn; the compiler identifies the latter as the threshold for stopping food and drink.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلاَ يَهِيدَنَّكُمُ السَّاطِعُ الْمُصْعِدُ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَعْتَرِضَ لَكُمُ الأَحْمَرُ " .
The source uses a description of the red dawn appearing horizontally; this rendering interprets it as light spreading along the horizon.
Should the phrase use the technical term true dawn alongside the descriptive wording?
