Sunan Abi Dawud 498
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْخُتَّلِيُّ، وَزِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، - وَحَدِيثُ عَبَّادٍ أَتَمُّ - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، - قَالَ زِيَادٌ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ، - عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عُمُومَةٍ، لَهُ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَالَ اهْتَمَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِلصَّلاَةِ كَيْفَ يَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ لَهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ انْصِبْ رَايَةً عِنْدَ حُضُورِ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَوْهَا آذَنَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَلَمْ يُعْجِبْهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَذُكِرَ لَهُ الْقُنْعُ - يَعْنِي الشَّبُّورَ - وَقَالَ زِيَادٌ شَبُّورَ 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 صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأُرِيَ الأَذَانَ فِي مَنَامِهِ - قَالَ - فَغَدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَبَيْنَ نَائِمٍ وَيَقْظَانَ إِذْ أَتَانِي آتٍ فَأَرَانِي الأَذَانَ . قَالَ وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ - رضى الله عنه - قَدْ رَآهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَمَهُ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا - قَالَ - ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ لَهُ " مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنِي " . فَقَالَ سَبَقَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَا بِلاَلُ قُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَا يَأْمُرُكَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَافْعَلْهُ " . قَالَ فَأَذَّنَ بِلاَلٌ . قَالَ أَبُو بِشْرٍ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ أَنَّ الأَنْصَارَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ لَوْلاَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَرِيضًا لَجَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُؤَذِّنًا .
ʿAbbad ibn Musa al-Khuttali and Ziyad ibn Ayyub narrated to us—the report of ʿAbbad is more complete. They said: Hushaym narrated to us, from Abu Bishr—Ziyad said: Abu Bishr informed us—from Abu ʿUmayr ibn Anas, from his paternal uncles among the Ansar, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was concerned about how to gather people for prayer. Someone suggested: ‘Raise a flag when prayer time comes; when they see it, they can notify one another.’ He did not like that. Then the horn was suggested to him—meaning the shabbur; Ziyad said, ‘the Jews’ horn.’ He did not like that either, saying: ‘It belongs to the Jews.’ Then the bell was suggested, and he said: ‘It belongs to the Christians.’ ʿAbd Allah ibn Zayd went away troubled by the Messenger of Allah’s concern, and the call to prayer was shown to him in a dream. In the morning he went to the Messenger of Allah and told him: ‘Messenger of Allah, while I was between sleep and wakefulness, someone came to me and showed me the call to prayer.’ ʿUmar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had seen it before that, but kept it to himself for twenty days. Then he told the Prophet, who asked: ‘What kept you from telling me?’ He replied: ‘ʿAbd Allah ibn Zayd got ahead of me, and I felt shy.’ The Messenger of Allah said: ‘Bilal, get up and see what ʿAbd Allah ibn Zayd instructs you to do, and do it.’ Bilal then called the prayer. Abu Bishr said: Abu ʿUmayr told me that the Ansar believed that, had ʿAbd Allah ibn Zayd not been ill that day, the Messenger of Allah would have appointed him as the caller to prayer.
