حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْخُتَّلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَزِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَدِيثُ عَبَّادٍ أَتَمُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ زِيَادٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُمُومَةٍ لَهُ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ اهْتَمَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلصَّلَاةِ كَيْفَ يَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ لَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقِيلَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ انْصِبْ رَايَةً عِنْدَ حُضُورِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا رَأَوْهَا آذَنَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ يُعْجِبْهُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ الْقُنْعُ يَعْنِي الشَّبُّورَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ زِيَادٌ:‏‏‏‏ شَبُّورُ الْيَهُودِ فَلَمْ يُعْجِبْهُ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْيَهُودِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ النَّاقُوسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ هُوَ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّصَارَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَانْصَرَفَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ مُهْتَمٌّ لِهَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُرِيَ الْأَذَانَ فِي مَنَامِهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَغَدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنِّي لَبَيْنَ نَائِمٍ وَيَقْظَانَ إِذْ أَتَانِي آتٍ فَأَرَانِي الْأَذَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَدْ رَآهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَمَهُ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنِي ؟ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَبَقَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا بِلَالُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَا يَأْمُرُكَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَافْعَلْهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو بِشْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ لَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَرِيضًا لَجَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُؤَذِّنًا.

The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was anxious as to how to gather the people for prayer. The people told him: Hoist a flag at the time of prayer; when they see it, they will inform one another. But he (the Prophet) did not like it. Then someone mentioned to him the horn. Ziyad said: A horn of the Jews. He (the Prophet) did not like it. He said: This is the matter of the Jews. Then they mentioned to him the bell of the Christians. He said: This is the matter of the Christians. Abdullah Ibn Zayd رضی اللہ عنہ returned anxiously from there because of the anxiety of the Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He was then taught the call to prayer in his dream. Next day he came to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم and informed him about it. He said: Messenger of Allah, I was between sleep and wakefulness; all of a sudden a newcomer came (to me) and taught me the call to prayer. Umar Ibn al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ had also seen it in his dream before, but he kept it hidden for twenty days. The Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said to me (Umar رضی اللہ عنہ ): What did prevent you from saying it to me? He said: Abdullah Ibn Zayd رضی اللہ عنہ had already told you about it before me: hence I was ashamed. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Bilal رضی اللہ عنہ , stand up, see what Abdullah ibn Zayd tells you (to do), then do it. Bilal then called them to prayer. Abu Bishr reported on the authority of Abu Umayr: The Ansar thought that if Abdullah Ibn Zayd رضی اللہ عنہ had not been ill on that day, the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم would have made him muadhdhin.
