Is the hadith of 'Umar valid, in which he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the iqamah for the Fajr prayer, carrying a vessel of milk?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We hope for a clarification of what was mentioned in the tafsir of Ibn Jarir regarding 'Umar, that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the iqamah for the Fajr prayer with a vessel of milk, and he said to him, "Drink." He says: "Drink," because I heard some of the scholars using this hadith as evidence for the permissibility of continuing the suhur meal until the iqamah for the Fajr prayer.

Answer:
This needs to be established; it needs to be established. If it is established, it is to be understood that 'Umar drank before the dawn appeared, because Allah the Exalted says:
And eat and drink until the white thread of dawn becomes distinct to you from the black threadوَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّىٰ يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ
[Al-Baqarah 2:187]
. Once the dawn appears, there is no eating or drinking for the fasting person. This is the explicit text of the Noble Qur'an. So, if this report is established, it is to be understood that 'Umar drank before the dawn appeared. Yes.
