حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ وَذَكَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ

لَمَّا أَجْمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ بِالنَّاقُوسِ يَجْمَعُ [الصَّلَاةَ لِلنَّاسِ] وَهُوَ لَهُ كَارِهٌ لِمُوَافَقَةِ النَّصَارَى، طَافَ بِي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ طَائِفٌ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ؛ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ، وَفِي يَدِهِ نَاقُوسٌ يَحْمِلُهُ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ أَتَبِيعُ النَّاقُوسَ ؟ قَالَ: وَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ: أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: تَقُولُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَقُولُ إِذَا أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَرُؤْيَا حَقٍّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالتَّأْذِينِ، فَكَانَ بِلَالٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ يُؤَذِّنُ بِذَلِكَ، وَيَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَهُ فَدَعَاهُ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَائِمٌ، قَالَ: فَصَرَخَ بِلَالٌ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ، قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ، فَأُدْخِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةُ فِي التَّأْذِينِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ decided to strike the bell to gather people for prayer, though he disliked it because it resembled the Christians, a visitor came to me at night while I was sleeping: a man wearing two green garments, carrying a bell in his hand. I said to him: O servant of God, will you sell the bell? He said: What will you do with it? I said: We will call to prayer with it. He said: Shall I not guide you to something better than that? I said: Yes. He said: Say: God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest, God is greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but God, I bear witness that there is no god but God; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God; come to prayer, come to prayer; come to success, come to success; God is greatest, God is greatest; there is no god but God. Then he stepped back a short distance and said: Then you say when you stand for prayer: God is greatest, God is greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but God; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God; come to prayer; come to success; prayer has begun, prayer has begun; God is greatest, God is greatest; there is no god but God. When morning came, I went to the Messenger of God ﷺ and told him what I had seen. He said: This is a true vision, God willing. Then he ordered the call to prayer, and Bilal, the freedman of Abu Bakr, called the adhan with that, and called the Messenger of God ﷺ to prayer. One morning he came to call him for Fajr, and it was said to him: The Messenger of God ﷺ is sleeping. So Bilal cried out at the top of his voice: Prayer is better than sleep. Sa'id b. al-Musayyib said: This phrase was incorporated into the adhan for Fajr prayer.
