أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ
وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَدِمَهَا قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي الْمَدِينَةَ إِنَّمَا يُجْتَمَعُ إِلَيْهِ بِالصَّلَاةِ لِحِينِ مَوَاقِيتِهَا بِغَيْرِ دَعْوَةٍ فَهَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ بُوقًا كَبُوقِ الْيَهُودِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِهِ لِصَلَاتِهِمْ ثُمَّ كَرِهَهُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالنَّاقُوسِ فَنُحِتَ لِيُضْرَبَ بِهِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِذْ رَأَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ أَخُو اَلْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ طَافَ بِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ طَائِفٌ مَرَّ بِي رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ يَحْمِلُ نَاقُوسًا فِي يَدِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَتَبِيعُ هَذَا النَّاقُوسَ؟ فَقَالَ وَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ؟ قُلْتُ نَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ غَيْرَ كَثِيرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ وَجَعَلَهَا وِتْرًا إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَلَمَّا أخُبِّرَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا لَرُؤْيَا حَقٌّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقُمْ مَعَ بِلَالٍ فَأَلْقِهَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْدَى صَوْتًا مِنْكَ» فَلَمَّا أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ سَمِعَهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَجُرُّ إِزَارَهُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ فَذَاكَ أَثْبَتُ»

✧ When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ arrived—Abu Muhammad said: meaning Madinah—people would gather for prayer at the times of prayer without any call. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ considered making a horn like the horn of the Jews with which they call to their prayer, but then he disliked it. Then he commanded the use of a clapper, and it was carved to be struck for the Muslims to call them to prayer. While they were in that state, Abd Allah b. Zayd b. Abd Rabbihi—the brother of al-Harith b. al-Khazraj—saw a vision. He came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, a visitor came to me last night; a man passed by me wearing two green garments, carrying a clapper in his hand. I said: 'O servant of Allah, will you sell this clapper?' 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: 'What is it?' He said: 'You say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah. Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasul Allah, ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasul Allah. Hayya ala al-salah, hayya ala al-salah. Hayya ala al-falah, hayya ala al-falah. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaha illa Allah.' Then he paused for a short while, then he said something similar, and he made it odd-numbered, except that he said: 'Qad qamat al-salah, qad qamat al-salah. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. La ilaha illa Allah.' When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed of this, he said: 'It is a true vision, if Allah wills. So stand with Bilal and teach it to him, for he has a louder voice than you.' When Bilal made the call to prayer, Umar b. al-Khattab heard it while he was in his house, and he came out to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ dragging his lower garment, saying: 'O Prophet of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, I saw the same as he saw.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Praise be to Allah, for that is more firmly established.'
