We need clarification of his saying: (And there was nothing between the adhan of Bilal and that of Ibn Umm Maktum except that this one would descend and this one would ascend), and his saying

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith, returning to the hadith:
Let not Bilal prevent you لا يمنعنَّكم بلال
; if the difference between this one descending and this one ascending; meaning: is the difference five minutes or less than that?

The Shaykh : And praise be to Allah, it is better without a difference, it is better without a difference.

The questioner : One of the commentators ... because Ibn Umm Maktum could not see, so Bilal, when he saw the dawn, would inform Ibn Umm Maktum.

The Shaykh : Correct, this is correct, and I mentioned it just now, and he was a blind man, and he would not call the adhan until it was said to him: You have become a morning person, you have become a morning person, but is this waiting period an hour of time? No, he knows it is not an hour, but he does not know it precisely! And I agree with you, but the matter is approximate.

The questioner : Fifty verses, did that not come?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : The amount of fifty verses, fifty verses.

The Shaykh : No, that ... in the Fajr prayer ..

The questioner : Fifty verses between the adhan and the iqamah.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. There is no specific limit except what came in this hadith, but the waiting of Ibn Umm Maktum cannot be estimated as an hour, or half an hour, but rather close to that.

The questioner : Can it be interpreted, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh : The observation you mentioned from some scholars is in its place, but estimation is never resorted to based on mere suspicion, but rather as he said:
We revolve around it حولها ندندن
. Yes, indeed.
The questioner: Did the false dawn and the true dawn come?

The questioner : Can it be interpreted, O Shaykh, that the descent is for the first adhan, the descent is for suhur, and then the other ascends, meaning?

The Shaykh : It is not possible; because this is an addition to the text, there was nothing between the two adhans except the amount of time it takes for this one to descend and this one to ascend, but the observation mentioned by the brother is entirely valid.

The questioner : Did it come that the first adhan is the false dawn?

The Shaykh : How?

The questioner : Did it come that the first adhan is the false dawn?

The Shaykh : No, it did not come, it has no relation to the false dawn, but it came that the Messenger (peace be upon him) said in some hadiths:
Let not this light that has spread like a camel's hump deceive you لا يغرَّنَّكم هذا النور الذي كذَنَب السَّرحان
extending like this in the sky, and only this light extending in the horizon, the light that appears like this, is what is called in the language of jurists the false dawn, but in the Sunnah there is nothing except this.
