سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ مَتَى يَحْرُمُ الطَّعَامُ وَ الشَّرَابُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ وَ تَحِلُّ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ فَقَالَ إِذَا اعْتَرَضَ الْفَجْرُ وَ كَانَ كَالْقُبْطِيَّةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فَثَمَّ يَحْرُمُ الطَّعَامُ وَ يَحِلُّ الصِّيَامُ وَ تَحِلُّ الصَّلَاةُ صَلَاةُ الْفَجْرِ قُلْتُ فَلَسْنَا فِي وَقْتٍ إِلَى أَنْ يَطْلُعَ شُعَاعُ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ هَيْهَاتَ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ تِلْكَ صَلَاةُ الصِّبْيَانِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al hakam, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so I said, ‘When does the food and drink become Prohibited upon the Fasting one and the Prayer becomes Permissible, the Dawn Prayer?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When the dawn presents itself, it would be like the white Coptic fabric, so from then the food becomes Prohibited, and the Fast opens, and the Prayer becomes Permissible, the Dawn Prayer’. I said, ‘So we are not with time until the emergence of the rays of the sun?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Far be it! Where are you going? That is the Prayer of the children’.
