حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاق، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَالِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ لِمَا يُهِمُّهُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَكَرُوا الْبُوقَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَرِهَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ الْيَهُودِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ ذَكَرُوا النَّاقُوسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَرِهَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِ النَّصَارَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُرِيَ النِّدَاءَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏يُقَالُ لَهُ:‏‏‏‏ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَطَرَقَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا بِهِ فَأَذَّنَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ:‏‏‏‏ وَزَادَ بِلَالٌ فِي نِدَاءِ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَقَرَّهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ عُمَرُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي رَأَى وَلَكِنَّهُ سَبَقَنِي.

The Prophet consulted the people as to how he could call them to the prayer. They suggested a horn, but he disliked that because of the Jews (because the Jews used a horn). Then they suggested a bell but he disliked that because of the Christians (because the Christians used a bell). Then that night the call to the prayer was shown in a dream to a man among the Ansar whose name was 'Abdullah bin Zaid, and to 'Umar bin Khattab رضی اللہ عنہما. The Ansari man came to the Messenger of Allah at night, and the Messenger of Allah commanded Bilal رضی اللہ عنہ to give the call to the prayer. (Da'if)Zuhri said: Bilal رضی اللہ عنہ added the phrase As-salatu khairum minan-nawm (the prayer is better than sleep) to the call for the morning prayer, and the Messenger of Allah approved of that. 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ said: O Messenger of Allah, I saw the same as he did, but he beat me to it.
