"عن عبد اللَّه بن محمدِ بن عمارِ بنِ سعدٍ، وعمارِ بنِ حفصِ بن عمرَ ابن سعدٍ، وعمرَ بن (حفص بن) عمرَ بن سعدٍ، عن آبائِهِمْ، عن أجدادِهِمْ أنهمْ أخبروهُمْ أَنَّ النجاشِىَّ الحبشِىَّ بعثَ إِلَى رسولِ اللَّه ﷺ بثلاثِ عَنَزَاتٍ، فأمسكَ النبىُّ ﷺ واحدةً لنفسهِ، وأعطَى علىَّ بنَ (أَبى) طالبٍ واحدةً، وأعطَى عمرَ بنَ الخطابِ واحدةً، فكانَ بلالٌ يمشِى بتلكَ الْعَنْزَة التِى أمسكَهَا رسولُ اللَّه ﷺ لنفسِه بينَ يَدَىْ رسولِ اللَّه ﷺ في العيدينِ: يَوم الفِطْرِ (ويوم) الأضحى حتى يأتَى المصلَّى فيركُزُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فيصلِّى إليهَا، ثم كَانَ يمشِى بِهَا بينَ يَدَى أَبى بكرٍ بعدَ رسولِ اللَّه ﷺ كذلكَ، ثم كَانَ سعدٌ القُرَظِى يمشِى بِهَا بين يَدَى عمرَ بن الخطابِ، وعثمانَ بن عفانَ في العيدين فَيركُزُهَا بين أَيْدِيهِمَا، ويُصليانِ إِلَيهَا، ولما تُوُفِّى رَسولُ اللَّه ﷺ جَاءَ بلالٌ إلى أَبى بكر الصديق فقال له: يا خليفة رسول اللَّه: أنى سمعت رسولَ اللَّه ﷺ يقولُ: أفْضَلُ عَمَلِ المؤمنِ الجهادُ في سبيلِ اللَّه، قالَ أبو بكرٍ: فما تَشَاءُ يا بِلَالُ؟ (قال: أردتُ أن أرَابِطَ في سبيلِ اللَّه حتَّى أموتَ، فقال أبو بكرٍ: أنشدكَ اللَّه يا بلالُ) وَحُرْمَتى وَحَقِّى فقد كَبِرْتُ وَضَعُفْتُ واقتربَ أَجَلِى، فأقامَ بلالٌ مَعَ أَبِى بكرٍ حتَّى تُوفِّى أبُو بكرٍ (فلما تُوفَى أبُو بَكْرٍ) جاء بَلالٌ إلَى عُمَر بْنِ الخطابِ فَقَالَ لَهُ كَمَا قالَ لأبِى بكرٍ، فَرَدَّ عليهِ (عُمَرُ كَمَا رَدَّ) أبو بكرٍ، فأبى بلالٌ عليهِ، فقالَ عمرُ: (فإلى) من تَرَى أن أجعل النداءَ؟ فقال: إلى سعدٍ، فإنَّهُ أَذَّنَ لرسولِ اللَّه ﷺ، فدعا عمرُ سعدًا فجعلَ الأذانَ إليهِ وإلَى عَقِبِهِ من بعدِهِ".

"'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Ammar ibn Sa'd, 'Ammar ibn Hafs ibn 'Umar ibn Sa'd, and 'Umar ibn (Hafs ibn) 'Umar ibn Sa'd, from their fathers, from their grandfathers, that they informed them that the Negus, the Abyssinian, sent to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ three spears (anazat). The Prophet ﷺ kept one for himself, gave one to 'Ali ibn (Abi) Talib, and gave one to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. Bilal would walk with that spear which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had kept for himself, before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the two Eids, the Day of Fitr and (the day of) Adha, until he reached the musalla, where he would plant it before him, and he would pray towards it. Then after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he would walk with it before Abu Bakr in the same way. Then Sa'd al-Qurazi would walk with it before 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and 'Uthman ibn 'Affan on the two Eids, planting it before them, and they would pray towards it. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, Bilal came to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq and said to him: O successor of the Messenger of Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The best deed of the believer is jihad in the way of Allah. Abu Bakr said: What do you want, O Bilal? (He said: I want to stand guard in the way of Allah until I die. Abu Bakr said: I adjure you by Allah, O Bilal) and by my sanctity and my right, for I have grown old, weakened, and my term has drawn near. So Bilal remained with Abu Bakr until Abu Bakr died. (When Abu Bakr died) Bilal came to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to him what he had said to Abu Bakr, and 'Umar returned to him the same answer that Abu Bakr had given, and Bilal refused. 'Umar said: (Then to) whom do you think I should entrust the call to prayer? He said: To Sa'd, for he called the adhan for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So 'Umar summoned Sa'd and entrusted the adhan to him and to his descendants after him.'"
