حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَفَلَ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ أَسْرَى حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ عَرَّسَ وَقَالَ لِبِلاَلٍ اكْلأْلَنَا الصُّبْحَ وَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَصْحَابُهُ وَكَلأَ بِلاَلٌ مَا قُدِّرَ لَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَهُوَ مُقَابِلُ الْفَجْرِ فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ فَلَمْ يَسْتَيْقِظْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلاَ بِلاَلٌ وَلاَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرَّكْبِ حَتَّى ضَرَبَتْهُمُ الشَّمْسُ فَفَزِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ بِلاَلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخَذَ بِنَفْسِي الَّذِي أَخَذَ بِنَفْسِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اقْتَادُوا فَبَعَثُوا رَوَاحِلَهُمْ وَاقْتَادُوا شَيْئًا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِلاَلاً فَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ قَالَ حِينَ قَضَى الصَّلاَةَ مَنْ نَسِيَ الصَّلاَةَ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ لِذِكْرِي

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Said ibn al- Musayyab that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ travelled by night on the way back from Khaybar.Towards the end of the night he stopped for a rest and told Bilal to stay awake to keep watch for the subh prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his companions slept. Bilal stayed on guard as long as was decreed for him and then he leant against his riding camel facing the direction of the dawn and sleep overcame him and neither he nor the Messenger of Allah nor any of the party woke up until the sun's rays had struck them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was alarmed. Bilal excused himself, saying, "Messenger of Allah! The One who took your self was the One who took myself. "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered the party to move on and so they roused thei r mounts and rode on a short distance. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered Bilal to give the iqama and then led them in the subh prayer. When he had finished he said, "Anyone who forgets a prayer should pray it when he remembers. Allah theBlessed and Exalted says in His book, 'Establish the prayer to remember Me.'"

- أبو زرعة الرازي
الصحيح هذا الحديث عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم
machine translationSound (ṣaḥīḥ) is this ḥadīth from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ.
in موطأ مالك, p. 22 - Ibn Rajab
قد اختلف على الزهري في وصله بذكر أبي هريرة وإرساله عن سعيد بن المسيب وصحح أبو زرعة ومسلم وصله وصحح الترمذي والدارقطني إرساله وذكر الاختلاف في ذلك أبو داود وخرجه من طريق معمر موصولا وذكر في حديثه قال فأمر بلالا فأذن وأقام وصلى وذكر أبو داود أن مالكا وابن عيينة والأوزاعي وغيرهم لم يذكروا في حديثهم الأذان
machine translationThere was disagreement about al-Zuhrī regarding whether it is connected by mentioning Abū Hurayrah or mursal from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab. Abū Zurʿah and Muslim declared its connected form sound (ṣaḥīḥ), while al-Tirmidhī and al-Dāraquṭnī declared its mursal form sound. Abū Dāwūd mentioned the disagreement about this and transmitted it by the route of Maʿmar as connected (mawṣūl), and mentioned in his ḥadīth: He said: then he commanded Bilāl, and he called the adhān, and the iqāmah, and he prayed. Abū Dāwūd mentioned that Mālik, Ibn ʿUyaynah, al-Awzāʿī and others did not mention the adhān in their ḥadīth.
in موطأ مالك, p. 22 - Dāraquṭnī
يرويه محمد بن إسحاق عن الزهري عن أنس قاله زياد البكائي عنه وهو وهم والصحيح عن الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب مرسلا وقال يونس عن الزهري عن سعيد عن أبي هريرة وكذلك قال أبان العطار وخلف بن أيوب عن معمر عن الزهري والصحيح مرسلا
machine translationMuḥammad b. Isḥāq narrates it from al-Zuhrī from Anas; Ziyād al-Bakkāʾī said it from him, and it is a mistake (wahm). The correct version is from al-Zuhrī from Saʿīd b. al-Musayyab as a mursal report (mursal). Yūnus said: from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, from Abū Hurayrah. Likewise Abān al-ʿAṭṭār and Khalaf b. Ayyūb said it from Maʿmar from al-Zuhrī, but the correct version is mursal.
