Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَبَابَةُ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ بِلاَلٌ يُؤَذِّنُ ثُمَّ يُمْهِلُ فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ خَرَجَ أَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ .
Translation
ʿUthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us: Shababah narrated to us, from Israʾil, from Simak, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: Bilal would call the prayer, then wait. When he saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had come out, he would establish the prayer.
