The Messenger of Allah was thinking of a horn, and he commanded that a bell be made and it was done. Then 'Abdullah bin Zaid had a dream. He said: "I saw a man wearing two green garments, carrying a bell. I said to him, 'O slave of Allah, will you sell the bell?' He said; 'What will you do with it?' I said, 'I will call (the people) to prayer.' He said, 'Shall I not tell you of something better than that?' I said, 'What is it?' he said, 'Say: Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'alas-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (Allah is The Most Great, Allah is The Most Great; Allah is The Most Great, Allah is The Most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah)." 'Abdullah bin Zaid went out and came to the Messenger of Allah, and told him what he had seen. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw a man wearing two green garments carrying a bell," and he told him the story. The Messenger of Allah said, "Your companion has had a dream. Go out with Bilal to the mosque and teach it to him, for he has a louder voice than you." I ('Abdullah) went out with Bilal to the mosque, and I started teaching him the words and he was calling them out. 'Umar Al-Khattab heard the voice and came out saying, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I saw the same (dream) as him." (Hasan)Abu 'Ubaid said: "Abu Bakr Al-Hakami told me that 'Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Ansari said concerning that: 'I praise Allah, the Possessor of majesty and honor, A great deal of praise for the Adhan. Since the news of it came to me from Allah, So due to it, I was honored by the information. During the three nights. Each of which increased me in honor.'"

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.
