حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُطَرِّفٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ وَأُنْزِلَتْ ‏{‏وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الأَسْوَدِ‏}‏ وَلَمْ يُنْزَلْ ‏{‏مِنَ الْفَجْرِ‏}‏ وَكَانَ رِجَالٌ إِذَا أَرَادُوا الصَّوْمَ رَبَطَ أَحَدُهُمْ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ الْخَيْطَ الأَبْيَضَ وَالْخَيْطَ الأَسْوَدَ، وَلاَ يَزَالُ يَأْكُلُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُ رُؤْيَتُهُمَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ بَعْدَهُ ‏{‏مِنَ الْفَجْرِ‏}‏ فَعَلِمُوا أَنَّمَا يَعْنِي اللَّيْلَ مِنَ النَّهَارِ.

English translation
Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d The Verse "And eat and drink until the white thread appears to you distinct from the black thread." was revealed, but: '... of dawn' was not revealed (along with it). So some men, when intending to fast, used to tie their legs, one with white thread and the other with black thread and would keep on eating till they could distinguish one thread from the other. Then Allah revealed' ... of dawn,' whereupon they understood that meant the night and the day
বাংলা অনুবাদ
সাহল ইবনু সা‘দ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, وَكُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمْ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ এ আয়াত যখন অবতীর্ণ হয় তখন مِنَ الْفَجْرِ ‘ফজর হতে’ কথাটি অবতীর্ণ হয়নি। তাই লোকেরা সওম পালনের ইচ্ছা করলে তখন তাদের কেউ কেউ দুই পায়ে সাদা ও কালো রঙের সূতা বেঁধে রাখত। এরপর ঐ দু’টি সুতা পরিষ্কারভাবে দেখা না যাওয়া পর্যন্ত তারা পানাহার করত। তখন আল্লাহ তা‘আলা পরে مِنَ الْفَجْرِ শব্দটি অবতীর্ণ করেন। এতে লোকেরা জানতে পারেন যে, এ দ্বারা উদ্দেশ্য হল দিন হতে রাত্রির স্পষ্টতা। [১৯১৭] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪১৫৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
