وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ رُشَيْدٍ، ثَنَا أَبُو حَيْوَةَ، ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزَّاهِرِيَّةِ، عَنْ كَثِيرِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ؓ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «

أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَذَّنَ فِي السَّمَاءِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ » فَسَمِعَهُ عُمَرُ، وَبِلَالٌ ؓ، فَأَقْبَلَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَا سَمِعَ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِلَالٌ ؓ فَأَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَا سَمِعَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: « سَبَقَكَ عُمَرُ يَا بِلَالُ، أَذِّنْ كَمَا سَمِعْتَ » قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ يَضَعَ أُصْبُعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ اسْتِعَانَةً بِهَا عَلَى الصَّوْتِ
