حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ الْمَكِّيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعَمَّارٌ أَبِي حَفْصٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ
عَنْ أَجْدَادِهِمْ قَالُوا جَاءَ بِلَالٌ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ عَمَلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ» وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَ نَفْسِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَا أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ يَا بِلَالُ وَحُرْمَتِي وَحَقِّي لَقَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتِي وَاقْتَرَبَ أَجَلِي فَأَقَامَ بِلَالٌ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ جَاءَ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَبَى بِلَالٌ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَمَنْ يَا بِلَالُ؟ فَقَالَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَذَّنَ بِقُبَاءَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ الْأَذَانَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ وَعَقِبِهِ

✧ From their forefathers they said: Bilal came to Abu Bakr ؓ and said, “O successor of the Messenger of Allah, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The best deed of a believer is jihad in the path of Allah,' and I want to bind myself in the path of Allah until I die.” Abu Bakr said, “I adjure you by Allah, O Bilal, and by my sanctity and my right: my age has become advanced, my strength has weakened, and my term has drawn near.” So Bilal stayed with him. When Abu Bakr ؓ died, Umar came and said to him something similar to what Abu Bakr said, but Bilal refused. Umar ؓ said, “Then to whom, O Bilal?” He said, “To Sa'd, for he called the adhan at Quba during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.” So Umar assigned the adhan to Sa'd and his descendants.
