قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ:
اهْتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْأَذَانِ لِلصَّلَاةِ، وَكَرِهَ أَنْ يَنْقُسَ كَمَا تَصْنَعُ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ، فَكَانَ ﷺ يَبْعَثُ رِجَالًا إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَيَشْغَلُهُمْ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَرَجَعَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ؓ مُهْتَمًّا بِهَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَأُتِيَ فِي النَّوْمِ، وَقِيلَ: لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ اهْتَمَمْتَ ؟ قَالَ: لِهَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ الَّذِي أَتَاهُ: ائْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، فَمُرْهُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ: اجْعَلْ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَالْإِقَامَةِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: فَأَتَى عَبْدُ اللهِ ؓ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « عَلِّمْهَا بِلَالًا » وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَقَالَ: رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مَا رَأَى عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، وَلَكِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ سَبَقَنِي

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was concerned about the call to prayer, and he disliked using a bell as the people of Makkah did. He ﷺ used to send men when prayer time came, and they would be busy with that instead of prayer. Abdullah b. Zayd al-Ansari ؓ returned, concerned with the Messenger's ﷺ concern, and he was visited in a dream. It was said to him: 'Why are you concerned?' He said: 'Because of the Messenger's ﷺ concern.' The one who came to him said: 'Go to the Prophet ﷺ and tell him to call for prayer: Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah, twice; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah, twice; Hayya 'ala al-salah, twice; Hayya 'ala al-falah, twice; Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar; La ilaha illa Allah.' Then he said to him: 'Make between the adhan and the iqamah something like that.' He said: Abdullah ؓ went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him that. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Teach it to Bilal.' Then Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ came and said: 'I saw the like of what Abdullah b. Zayd saw, but Abdullah preceded me.'
