It was narrated from Muhammed bin 'Abdullah bin Zaid that his father said that:
The Messenger of Allah was thinking of a horn, and he commanded that a bell be
made and it was done. Then 'Abdullah bin Zaid had a dream. He said: "I saw a man
wearing two green garments, carrying a bell. I said to him, 'O slave of Allah,
will you sell the bell?' He said; 'What will you do with it?' I said, 'I will
call (the people) to prayer.' He said, 'Shall I not tell you of something better
than that?' I said, 'What is it?' he said, 'Say: Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar,
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'alas-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah;
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (Allah is The Most Great, Allah is
The Most Great; Allah is The Most Great, Allah is The Most Great; I bear witness
that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has
the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammed is the
Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah; Come
to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the
prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah)." 'Abdullah bin Zaid went out and came to the
Messenger of Allah, and told him what he had seen. He said, "O Messenger of
Allah, I saw a man wearing two green garments carrying a bell," and he told him
the story. The Messenger of Allah said, "Your companion has had a dream. Go out
with Bilal to the mosque and teach it to him, for he has a louder voice than
you." I ('Abdullah) went out with Bilal to the mosque, and I started teaching
him the words and he was calling them out. 'Umar Al-Khattab heard the voice and
came out saying, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I saw the same (dream) as
him." (Hasan)Abu 'Ubaid said: "Abu Bakr Al-Hakami told me that 'Abdullah bin
Zaid Al-Ansari said concerning that: 'I praise Allah, the Possessor of majesty
and honor, A great deal of praise for the Adhan. Since the news of it came to me
from Allah, So due to it, I was honored by the information. During the three
nights. Each of which increased me in honor.'"

"Abdul-'Aziz bin 'Abdul-Malik bin Abu Mahdhurah narrated from 'Abdullah bin
muhairiz who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah bin mi'yar that when
he was preparing him to travel to Sham, he said: 'O my uncle, I am going out to
Sham, and I will be asked about how you started the Adhan.' So he informed me
that. Abu Mahdhurah said: 'I went out with a group of people, and we were
somewhere on the road, when the Mu'adh-dhin of the Messenger of Allah gave the
call to prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. We heard the voice of
the Mu'adh-dhin, and we were shunning it (the Adhan), so we started yelling,
imitating it and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah heard us, so he sent some
people who brought us to sit in front of him. He said: 'Who is the one whose
voice I heard so loud?' The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the
truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: 'Stand up and
give the call to prayer.' I stood up and there was nothing more hateful to me
than the Messenger of Allah and what he was telling me to do. I stood up in
front of the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah himself taught me the
call. He said: "Say: 'Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu
an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most great, Allah
is the most Great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great; I bear
witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah).'" Then he said: "Raise your voice (and say). Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah,
Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya 'alal-salah, Hayya 'alal-salah; Hayya
'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (I
bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness
that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to
the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the
right to be worshipped but Allah).'" Then he called me when I had finished
saying the Adhan, and gave me a small bag in which there was some silver. Then
he put his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face,
then over his chest, and over his heart, until the hand of the Messenger of
Allah reached his navel. Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah bless you
and send blessings upon you.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you command me
to give the call to prayer in Makkah?' He said: 'Yes, I command you (to do so).'
Then all the hatred I had felt towards the Messenger of Allah disappeared, and
was replaced with love for the Messenger of Allah. I came to 'Attab bin Asid,
the governor of the Messenger of Allah in Makkah, and gave the call to prayer
with him by command of the Messenger of Allah." (Sahih)He ('Abdul-'Aziz) said:
"Someone who met Abu Mahdhurah told me the same as 'Abdullah bin Muhairiz told
me."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا

فَأَعْطَانِي صُرَّةً فِيهَا شَىْءٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى

ثُمَّ عَلَى كَبِدِهِ ثُمَّ بَلَغَتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ
سُرَّةَ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ "
بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ " . فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
أَمَرْتَنِي بِالتَّأْذِينِ بِمَكَّةَ قَالَ " نَعَمْ قَدْ أَمَرْتُكَ " .

كَرَاهِيَةٍ وَعَادَ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ مَحَبَّةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه
