so that it can be considered appropriate according to Islamic traditions.

What did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and Zaid bin Thabit do before the Prophet (peace be upon him) began to pray Fajr prayer?
 Narrated Qatada:                     Anas bin Malik said, "The Prophet and Zaid bin Thabit took the 'Suhur' together and after finishing the meal, the Prophet stood up and prayed (Fajr prayer)." I asked Anas, "How long was the interval between finishing their 'Suhur' and starting the prayer?" He replied, "The interval between the two was just sufficient to recite fifty 'Ayat." (Verses of the Qur'an).
