( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمُقْرِئُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلْمَانَ النَّجَّادُ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعُمَيْسِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ:
أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُ الْأَذَانَ فَقَالَ: أَلْقِهِ عَلَى بِلَالٍ، فَإِنَّهُ أَنْدَى مِنْكَ صَوْتًا. فَلَمَّا أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ قَدِمَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَقَامَ

I came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him how I had seen the call to prayer (adhān) in my dream. He said: "Teach it to Bilāl, for he has a more melodious voice than you." When Bilāl called the adhān, ʿAbdullāh arrived, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded him, and he called the iqāmah.

قال وسمعت أبا عبد الله يقول من أقام مثنى مثنى لم أعنفه وليس به بأس قيل لأبي عبد الله حديث أبي محذورة صحيح قال أما أنا فلا أدفعه قيل له أفليس حديث أبي محذورة بعد حديث أبي عبد الله بن زيد لأن حديث أبي محذورة بعد فتح مكة فقال أليس قد رجع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى المدينة فأقر بلالا على أذان عبد الله بن زيد قال أبو عمر بكل ما قالوا قد رويت الآثار عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ولكني كرهت ذكرها خشية الإملال والإطالة ولشهرتها في كتب المصنفين كسلت عن إيرادها مع طولها وقد جئت بمعانيها ومذاهب الفقهاء فيها وبالله التوفيق وذهب أحمد بن حنبل وإسحاق بن راهويه والطبري وداود إلى إجازة القول بكل ما روي عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في ذلك وحملوا ذلك على الإباحة والتخيير قالوا كل ذلك جائز لأنه قد ثبت جميع ذلك عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وعمل به أصحابه بعده
machine translationHe said: I heard Abū ʿAbdillāh say: Whoever calls the iqāmah in pairs, I do not blame him, and there is no harm in it. Abū ʿAbdillāh was asked: Is the hadith of Abū Maḥdhūrah sound? He said: As for me, I do not reject it. It was said to him: Does the hadith of Abū Maḥdhūrah not come after the hadith of ʿAbdullāh b. Zayd, since the hadith of Abū Maḥdhūrah is after the conquest of Mecca? He said: Did the Prophet ﷺ not return to Medina and confirm Bilāl on the adhān of ʿAbdullāh b. Zayd? Abū ʿUmar said: Reports have been narrated from the Prophet ﷺ for everything they said, but I disliked mentioning them for fear of causing boredom and length, and because of their fame in the books of the compilers, I was reluctant to cite them given their length. I have brought their meanings and the positions of the jurists on them, and success is with Allah. Aḥmad b. Ḥanbal, Isḥāq b. Rāhawayh, al-Ṭabarī and Dāwūd held that it is permissible to say whatever has been narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on this, and they took it as permissibility and free choice. They said: All of it is permissible, because all of it is established from the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions acted on it after him.
