"عَن عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلقَمَةُ بنُ عُلاَثَةَ عَلَى النبىِّ ﷺ فَدَعَا لَه بِرَأسٍ، وَجَعَل يَأكُلُ معَهُ، فَجَاء بِلاَلٌ فَدَعا إلَى الصَّلاَة، فَلم يُجَبْ. فَرَجَعَ فَمَكَثَ في المَسْجد ما شَاءَ الله، ثُمَّ رَجعَ وَقالَ: الصَّلاَة يَا رسُولَ الله، قَدْ وَالله أَصْبَحَتْ، فَقَالَ: رَسُولَ الله ﷺ: رَحَم الله بِلاَلًا، لَوْلاَ بِلاَلٌ لَرجَوْنَا أَنْ تُؤخَّرَ لَنَا مَا بَيْنَنَا وَبيْنَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ، فَقَال عَلِىٌّ: لَوْلاَ أَنَّ بِلاَلًا حَلَفَ لأَكَل رَسُول الله ﷺ حَتَّى يَقُولَ لَه جِبريل: ارْفع يَدَكَ".

"From ʿAlī, who said: ʿAlqamah b. ʿUlāthah entered upon the Prophet ﷺ, and he called for a head (of an animal) for him, and he began to eat with him. Then Bilāl came and called to the prayer, but he was not answered. So he went back and stayed in the mosque as long as God willed, then he returned and said: 'The prayer, O Messenger of God! By God, it is already morning.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'May God have mercy on Bilāl. Were it not for Bilāl, we would have hoped that the time between us and the rising of the sun would be delayed for us.' Then ʿAlī said: 'Had Bilāl not sworn, the Messenger of God ﷺ would have kept eating until Jibrīl said to him: Lift your hand.'"
