Sahih al-Bukhari 2656 (Book 52, Hadith 20) #2542
Eating and Drinking Until Adhan

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised people to eat and drink until Bilal's Adhan is heard, or until Ibn Um Maktum's Adhan is heard.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: The Prophet said, "Bilal pronounces the Adhan when it is still night (before dawn), so eat and drink till the next Adhan is pronounced (or till you hear Ibn Um Maktum's Adhan)". Ibn Um Maktum was a blind man who would not pronounce the Adhan till he was told that it was dawn.
حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ بِلاَلاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُؤَذِّنَ ـ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا ـ أَذَانَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ رَجُلاً أَعْمَى، لاَ يُؤَذِّنُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ لَهُ النَّاسُ أَصْبَحْتَ‏.‏
