Arabic Text

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ بِلاَلاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُنَادِيَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

English Translation

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) said:

"Bilal calls the Adhan during the night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls (the Adhan)"
