Summary
According to hadith scholars, the call mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurairah refers to the first dawn adhan by Bilal bin Rabah, given before true dawn. The second adhan by Abdullah bin Ummi Maktum marks the actual entry of the dawn prayer time. If food or drink remains in the mouth at that point, it must be spat out and the fast continued. If it is swallowed, the fast is invalidated and must be made up.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, jika seseorang itu mendengar azan subuh berkumandang dan di dalam mulutnya masih terdapat makanan atau minuman maka wajib diluahkan dan berpuasa.
