حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَفَلَ مِنْ غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ فَسَارَ لَيْلَةً حَتَّى إِذَا أَدْرَكَنَا الْكَرَى عَرَّسَ وَقَالَ لِبِلاَلٍ اكْلأْ لَنَا اللَّيْلَ قَالَ فَغَلَبَتْ بِلاَلاً عَيْنَاهُ وَهُوَ مُسْتَنِدٌ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَيْقِظِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَلاَ بِلاَلٌ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا ضَرَبَتْهُمُ الشَّمْسُ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوَّلَهُمُ اسْتِيقَاظًا فَفَزِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا بِلاَلُ فَقَالَ أَخَذَ بِنَفْسِي الَّذِي أَخَذَ بِنَفْسِكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَاقْتَادُوا رَوَاحِلَهُمْ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَأَمَرَ بِلاَلاً فَأَقَامَ لَهُمُ الصَّلاَةَ وَصَلَّى بِهِمُ الصُّبْحَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلاَةً فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ { أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ لِلذِّكْرَى } قَالَ يُونُسُ وَكَانَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ يَقْرَؤُهَا كَذَلِكَ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ قَالَ عَنْبَسَةُ يَعْنِي عَنْ يُونُسَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لِذِكْرِي وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ الْكَرَى النُّعَاسُ

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned from the Battle of Khaibar, he travelled during the night. When we felt sleep, he halted for rest. Addressing Bilal he said: Keep vigilance at night for us. But Bilal who was leaning against the saddle of his mount was dominated by sleep. Neither the Prophet ﷺ nor Bilal nor any of his Companions could get up till the sunshine struck them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up first of all. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was embarrassed and said: O Bilal ! He replied: He who detained your soul, detained my soul, Messenger of Allah, my parents be sacrificed for you. Then they drove their mounts to a little distance. The Prophet ﷺ perfumed ablution and commanded Bilal who made announcement for the prayer. He (the Prophet) led them in the Fajr prayer. When he finished prayer, he said: If anyone forget saying prayer, he should observe it when he recalls it, for Allah has said (in the Qur'an): "Establish prayer for my remembrance". Yunus said: Ibn Shihab used to recite this verse in a similar way (i.e. instead of reciting the word li-dhikri - for the sake of My remembrance - he would recite li-dhikra - when you remember). Ahmad (one of the narrator) said: 'Anbasah (a reporter) reported on the authority of Yunus the word li-dhikri (for the sake of my remembrance). Ahmad said: The word nu'as (occurring in this tradition) means "drowsiness".

- Dāraquṭnī
المحفوظ هو المرسل
machine translationThe preserved (maḥfūẓ) version is the mursal one.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 432 - Dāraquṭnī
يرويه محمد بن إسحاق عن الزهري عن أنس قاله زياد البكائي عنه وهو وهم والصحيح عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب مرسلا وقال يونس عن الزهري عن سعيد عن أبي هريرة وكذلك قال أبان العطار وخلف بن أيوب عن معمر عن الزهري والصحيح مرسلا
machine translationMuḥammad b. Isḥāq narrates it from al-Zuhrī from Anas; Ziyād al-Bakkāʾī said it from him, and it is a mistake (wahm). The correct version is from al-Zuhrī from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab as a mursal report (mursal). Yūnus said: from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, from Abū Hurayrah. Likewise Abān al-ʿAṭṭār and Khalaf b. Ayyūb said it from Maʿmar from al-Zuhrī, but the correct version is mursal.
in سنن أبي داود, p. 432 - Ibn Rajab
قد اختلف على الزهري في وصله بذكر أبي هريرة وإرساله عن سعيد بن المسيب وصحح أبو زرعة ومسلم وصله وصحح الترمذي والدارقطني إرساله وذكر الاختلاف في ذلك أبو داود وخرجه من طريق معمر موصولا وذكر في حديثه قال فأمر بلالا فأذن وأقام وصلى وذكر أبو داود أن مالكا وابن عيينة والأوزاعي وغيرهم لم يذكروا في حديثهم الأذان
machine translationThere was disagreement about al-Zuhrī regarding whether it is connected by mentioning Abū Hurayrah or mursal from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab. Abū Zurʿah and Muslim declared its connected form sound (ṣaḥīḥ), while al-Tirmidhī and al-Dāraquṭnī declared its mursal form sound. Abū Dāwūd mentioned the disagreement about this and transmitted it by the route of Maʿmar as connected (mawṣūl), and mentioned in his ḥadīth: He said: then he commanded Bilāl, and he called the adhān, and the iqāmah, and he prayed. Abū Dāwūd mentioned that Mālik, Ibn ʿUyaynah, al-Awzāʿī and others did not mention the adhān in their ḥadīth.
