[Sahih Bukhari : volume 3, Book 31, Number 140]

Narrated Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (Radi Allah Anhu): When the above verses was revealed: "Until the white thread appears to you , distinct from the black thread," I took two (hair) strings one black and one white , and kept them under my pillow and went on looking at them throughout the night but could not make anything out of it. So, the next morning I went to Allah's Messenger Muhammad (sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam), and told him the whole story. He explained me, "That the verse means the darkness of night and blackness of drawn."
