The story of the call to prayer
[ التَّفْكِيرُ فِي اتِّخَاذِ بُوقٍ أَوْ نَاقُوسٍ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا اطْمَأَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَاجْتَمَعَ إلَيْهِ إخْوَانُهُ مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ، وَاجْتَمَعَ أَمْرُ الْأَنْصَارِ، اسْتَحْكَمَ أَمْرُ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَقَامَتْ الصَّلَاةُ، وَفُرِضَتْ الزَّكَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ، وَقَامَتْ الْحُدُودُ، وَفُرِضَ الْحَلَالُ وَالْحَرَامُ، وَتَبَوَّأَ الْإِسْلَامُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ، وَكَانَ هَذَا الْحَيُّ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ هُمْ الَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُوا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمَانَ. وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْنَ قَدِمَهَا إنَّمَا يَجْتَمِعُ النَّاسُ إلَيْهِ لِلصَّلَاةِ لِحِينِ مَوَاقِيتِهَا، بِغَيْرِ دَعْوَةٍ، فَهَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْنَ قَدِمَهَا أَنْ يَجْعَلَ بُوقًا كَبُوقِ يَهُودَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ بِهِ لِصَلَاتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ كَرِهَهُ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالنَّاقُوسِ، فَنُحِتَ لِيُضْرَبَ بِهِ لِلْمُسْلِمَيْنِ لِلصَّلَاةِ
Translation
✧ [The deliberation over adopting a horn or a clapper] Ibn Isḥāq said: When the Messenger of God ﷺ was settled in Madinah, and his brethren from the Emigrants had gathered to him, and the affair of the Anṣār was brought together, the affair of Islam became firmly established. The prayer was instituted, the alms-tax and fasting were made obligatory, the legal punishments were established, the lawful and the unlawful were prescribed, and Islam took up its abode among them. It was this tribe of the Anṣār who had taken up the abode and the faith. When the Messenger of God ﷺ first came to it, the people used to gather to him for prayer at the times of its appointed periods, without any summons. So the Messenger of God ﷺ, when he came to it, considered making a horn like the horn of the Jews, with which they summon to their prayer; then he disliked it. Then he commanded the clapper, so it was carved in order to be struck for the Muslims for prayer.
