( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو صَادِقِ بْنُ أَبِي الْفَوَارِسِ الصَّيْدَلَانِيُّ قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ الضَّبِّيُّ بِأَصْبَهَانَ، ثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ: أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ:
كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فَيَتَحَيَّنُونَ الصَّلَاةَ، وَلَيْسَ يُنَادِي بِهَا أَحَدٌ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا يَوْمًا فِي ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ: اتَّخِذُوا نَاقُوسًا مِثْلَ نَاقُوسِ النَّصَارَى. وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: بَلْ قَرْنًا مِثْلَ قَرْنِ الْيَهُودِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَوَلَا تَبْعَثُونَ رَجُلًا يُنَادِي بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: يَا بِلَالُ قُمْ فَنَادِ بِالصَّلَاةِ

When the Muslims came to Medina, they would gather and wait for the time of the prayer, and no one would call out for it. One day they spoke about that, and some of them said: "Take a bell like the bell of the Christians." And some of them said: "Rather a horn like the horn of the Jews." Then ʿUmar said: "Will you not send a man to call out for the prayer?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Bilāl, get up and call out for the prayer."
