حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: وَذَكَرَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَجْمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ بِالنَّاقُوسِ يَجْمَعُ لِلصَّلَاةِ النَّاسَ، (١) وَهُوَ لَهُ كَارِهٌ لِمُوَافَقَتِهِ (٢) النَّصَارَى، طَافَ بِي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ طَائِفٌ وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ، رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَخْضَرَانِ وَفِي يَدِهِ نَاقُوسٌ يَحْمِلُهُ، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ أَتَبِيعُ النَّاقُوسَ، قَالَ: وَمَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ؟ قُلْتُ: نَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: أَفَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: بَلَى، قَالَ: تَقُولُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ، ، أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ (١) غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ تَقُولُ: إِذَا أَقَمْتَ الصَّلَاةَ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا رَأَيْتُ قَالَ: فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَرُؤْيَا حَقٌّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ "، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِالتَّأْذِينِ، فَكَانَ بِلَالٌ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ يُؤَذِّنُ بِذَلِكَ، وَيَدْعُو رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: فَجَاءَهُ فَدَعَاهُ ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ إِلَى الْفَجْرِ، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَائِمٌ، قَالَ: فَصَرَخَ بِلَالٌ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ، قَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيِّبِ: فَأُدْخِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةُ فِي التَّأْذِينِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Zaid bin Abd Rabbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had agreed upon the method of gathering people for prayer by ringing a bell—although the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also expressed dislike for it due to its resemblance to the Christians—then one night, in a dream, a man came to me. He was wearing two green garments and had a bell in his hand which he had lifted. I said to him, "O servant of Allah! Will you sell this bell?" He asked, "What will you do with it?" I replied, "We will ring it to call people to prayer." He said, "Shall I not tell you something better than this?" I said, "Why not." He said, "You should say like this: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah, Hayya 'ala-s-Salah, Hayya 'ala-s-Salah, Hayya 'ala-l-Falah, Hayya 'ala-l-Falah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah." Then, after a short while, he said, "When the prayer is about to begin, you should say like this," and then he recited the same words once each, and after "Hayya 'ala-l-Falah" he added "Qad qamatis salah" twice. When morning came, I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and related my dream. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "InshaAllah, this dream is true." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered the call to prayer, so Bilal, the freed slave of Abu Bakr Siddiq, began to give the adhan and call people to prayer. One day, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and gave the adhan for Fajr. Someone told him that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was sleeping, so he called out in a loud voice, "As-salatu khayrun minan-nawm (Prayer is better than sleep)." Sa'id bin al-Musayyib says that from that time, this phrase was also included in the Fajr adhan.
