وَأَخْبَرَنَا الْفَقِيهُ الْإِمَامُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُسَلَّمِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ:
وَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَدِمَهَا إِنَّمَا يَجْتَمِعُ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ لِلصَّلَاةِ بِحِينِ مَوَاقِيتِهَا بِغَيْرِ دَعْوَةٍ، فَهَمَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ [ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ ] بُوقًا كَبُوقِ الْيَهُودِ الَّذِي يَدْعُونَ بِهِ لِصَلَوَاتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ كَرِهَهُ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالنَّاقُوسِ فَنُحِتَ لِيُضْرَبَ بِهِ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أُرِيَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ أَخُو الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ النِّدَاءَ، فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ طَافَ بِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ طَائِفٌ؛ مَرَّ بِي رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ يَحْمِلُ نَاقُوسًا فِي يَدِهِ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ أَتَبِيعُ هَذَا النَّاقُوسَ ؟ فَقَالَ: وَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ ؟ قُلْتُ: نَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ. فَقَالَ: أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ؟ قُلْتُ: وَمَا هُوَ ؟ 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. ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ غَيْرَ كَثِيرٍ، ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ، وَجَعَلَهَا وِتْرًا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ. فَلَمَّا خَبَّرْتُهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّهَا لَرُؤْيَا حَقٍّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ، فَقُمْ مَعَ بِلَالٍ فَأَلْقِهَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَنْدَى صَوْتًا مِنْكَ "، فَلَمَّا أَذَّنَ بِهَا بِلَالٌ سَمِعَ بِهَا عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَى، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " فَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ، فَذَاكَ أَثْبَتُ ".

✧ When the Messenger of God ﷺ came to it, the people used to assemble for prayer at the times of prayer without any call. The Messenger of God ﷺ intended to have a horn like the horn of the Jews, which they use to call to their prayers, but he disliked it. Then he ordered a bell to be made so that it could be struck to call the Muslims to prayer. While they were in that situation, Abdullah b. Zayd b. Abd Rabbih, brother of al-Harith b. al-Khazraj, was shown the call in a dream. He came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said to him, 'O Messenger of God, a visitor came to me this night; a man passed by me wearing two green garments, carrying a bell in his hand. I said, O servant of God, will you sell this bell? He said, And what will you do with it? I said, We will call the people to prayer with it. He said, Shall I direct you to something better than that? I said, What is it? He said: Say: God is most great, God is most great, God is most great, God is most great. 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 most great, God is most great. There is no god but God. Then he paused a little, then he said the same as before, but made it odd, except that he said: The prayer has commenced, the prayer has commenced, the prayer has commenced. God is most great, God is most great. There is no god but God. When I told this to the Messenger of God ﷺ, he said: It is a true vision, God willing. Go with Bilal and teach it to him, for he has a louder voice than you. When Bilal called the adhan with it, Umar b. al-Khattab heard it while he was in his house, and he came out to the Messenger of God ﷺ dragging his cloak, saying: O Prophet of God, by the One who sent you with the truth, I saw the like of what he saw. The Messenger of God ﷺ said: To God be the praise; that is firmer.

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.
