Today I woke at 4:30 AM and fajr starts at 4:00 AM. It is still pitch dark. My mom said you know what is good waking up this early? I replied to her, "What?". She said that you can go ahead and drink and eat and I said to her no I cannot. Fajr started so i cannot..she said so what, you have not seen the light yet I said to her..no I cannot eat or drink when fajir starts. Lo and behold this topic is opened too hehe.
 
(The Book of Fasting)
CHAPTER: THE TIMING OF FAST BEGINS WITH DAWN
No. 2396




'Adi b. Hatim (Allaah be pleased with him) reported that when (this verse) was revealed:" Until the white streak of the dawn becomes distinct from the dark streak" (ii. 187) Adi b. Hatim said: Messenger of Allaah, verily I keep underneath my pillow two strings, one white and the other black, by which I distinguish night from dawn. Upon this the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Your pillow seems to be very large. For the word khait implies the blackness of the night and the whiteness of the dawn.
