Sahih Muslim 1094e — Confirming the True Dawn
Clarifying that fasting begins at dawn, and a person may eat and other than that until dawn begins; And clarifying the dawn which has to do with the rulings concerning the beginning of fasting and the beginning of the time for the Subh Prayer, and other than that, which is the Second Dawn, which is called the True Dawn. The First Dawn, which is the False Dawn, has nothing to do with the rulings

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَوَادَةُ بْنُ حَنْظَلَةَ، الْقُشَيْرِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَمُرَةَ بْنَ جُنْدَبٍ، - رضى الله عنه - يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . فَذَكَرَ هَذَا .

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1094e
This narration is brief, but it is important because it tells us that a hadith like the previous one was narrated from Samura b. Jundub. Since the wording says it is like this, the core teaching remains the same: the fasting person should not be misled by the call of Bilal or by the whiteness of false dawn. The true dawn is the sign connected to the start of fasting. This hadith helps readers understand that the message was preserved through another chain of transmitters. It does not add a new ruling in the translation, but it strengthens the same point about suhur time and the beginning of Fajr.
What we learn from this hadith
- This narration supports the same teaching about true dawn and fasting time.
- The report points back to the need for care before stopping suhur.
- A repeated chain can preserve the same meaning without adding a new detail.
