Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-2552b
"عن ابن جريج قال: أخبرنى حسن بن مسلمٍ أن رجلا سأل طاوسًا متى قِيْلَ الصلاةُ خَيْرٌ من النوم؟ فقال طاوس: أما إنها لم تقل على عهد رسول اللَّه ﷺ ولكن بلالًا سمعها في زمان أَبى بكر بعد وفاةِ رسول اللَّه ﷺ يقولها رجلٌ غير مؤذن، فأخذها منه، فأذَّنَ بها، فلم يمكث أبو بكر إلا قليلا، حتى إذا كان عمرُ قال: لو نهينا بلالًا عن هذا الذى أحدث، وكأنه نَسِيه فأذن به الناس حتى اليوم".

"Ibn Jurayj said: Hasan ibn Muslim told me that a man asked Tawus: When was 'The prayer is better than sleep' said? Tawus said: It was not said in the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but Bilal heard it in the time of Abu Bakr after the death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, from a man who was not the muezzin saying it. So he took it from him and called the adhan with it. Abu Bakr did not remain but a little while until 'Umar came and said: 'If only we had forbidden Bilal from this innovation,' as if he had forgotten it. So the people have called the adhan with it until today."
