حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ ذَكَرُوا النَّارَ وَالنَّاقُوسَ، فَذَكَرُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى، فَأُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الأَذَانَ وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ‏.‏

Translation

Anas reported: The people discussed using a fire and a bell to announce the prayer time, proposals associated with the Jews and Christians. Then Bilal was instructed to repeat the phrases of the call to prayer and to pronounce the call announcing that prayer is beginning with each phrase once.

Translation notes

  • The terms are adhan, the call to prayer, and iqama, the announcement that the prayer is beginning.
