Chapter 14 · Fasting (Kitab Al-Siyam)حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ. ح وحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ سورة البقرة آية 187، قَالَ: أَخَذْتُ عِقَالًا أَبْيَضَ وَعِقَالًا أَسْوَدَ فَوَضَعْتُهُمَا تَحْتَ وِسَادَتِي، فَنَظَرْتُ فَلَمْ أَتَبَيَّنْ، فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَضَحِكَ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ وِسَادَكَ لَعَرِيضٌ طَوِيلٌ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ . وقَالَ عُثْمَانُ: إِنَّمَا هُوَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَبَيَاضُ النَّهَارِ .

When the verse Until the white thread of dawn appear to you distinct from its black thread was revealed, I took a white rope and a black rope, and placed them beneath my pillow ; and then I looked at them, byt they were not clear to me. So I mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. He laughed and said: Your pillow is so broad and lengthy ; that is (i. e. means) night and day. The version of the narrator Uthman has: That is the blackness of night and whiteness of day.
