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

✧ "The first to give the adhan in the heaven was Jibril ﷺ." Umar and Bilal ؓ heard him. Umar ؓ came and informed the Prophet ﷺ of what he had heard. Then Bilal ؓ came and informed the Prophet ﷺ of what he had heard. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: "Umar beat you to it, O Bilal. Give the adhan as you heard." He said: Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to place his fingers in his ears to help with the sound.
