Sunan An-Nasa`i : 642
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud رضی اللہ عنہ that:
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قال: أَنْبَأَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ لِيُوقِظَ نَائِمَكُمْ وَلِيَرْجِعَ قَائِمَكُمْ، وَلَيْسَ أَنْ يَقُولَ هَكَذَا يَعْنِي فِي الصُّبْحِ .
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Bilal calls the Adhan during the night to wake those who are sleeping and so that those who are praying Qiyam can return.[1] Not to say it is like this. The break of dawn is not like this. [2]
[1] Meaning to finish. Ash-Shawkani said: To return to sleeping or return to sitting from praying Nail Al-Awtar. [2] Indicating with an up and down motion. The true dawn is from right to left.
