حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِنَّ بِلاَلاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا تَأْذِينَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَائِشَةَ وَأُنَيْسَةَ وَأَنَسٍ وَأَبِي ذَرٍّ وَسَمُرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي الأَذَانِ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ بِاللَّيْلِ أَجْزَأَهُ وَلاَ يُعِيدُ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ مَالِكٍ وَابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَالشَّافِعِيِّ وَأَحْمَدَ وَإِسْحَاقَ . وَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ إِذَا أَذَّنَ بِلَيْلٍ أَعَادَ . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ . وَرَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ بِلاَلاً أَذَّنَ بِلَيْلٍ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُنَادِيَ " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ نَامَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ . وَالصَّحِيحُ ، مَا رَوَى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَغَيْرُهُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُؤَذِّنَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ " , وَرَوَى عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ مُؤَذِّنًا لِعُمَرَ أَذَّنَ بِلَيْلٍ ، فَأَمَرَهُ عُمَرُ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْأَذَانَ ، وَهَذَا لَا يَصِحُّ أَيْضًا ، لِأَنَّهُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ عُمَرَ مُنْقَطِعٌ ، وَلَعَلَّ حَمَّادَ بْنَ سَلَمَةَ أَرَادَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، وَالصَّحِيحُ رِوَايَةُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَغَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ , وَالزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَلَوْ كَانَ حَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ صَحِيحًا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مَعْنًى ، إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ " , فَإِنَّمَا أَمَرَهُمْ فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلُ ، وقَالَ : إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ ، وَلَوْ أَنَّهُ أَمَرَهُ بِإِعَادَةِ الْأَذَانِ حِينَ أَذَّنَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ لَمْ يَقُلْ إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ ، قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ حَدِيثُ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم هُوَ غَيْرُ مَحْفُوظٍ وَأَخْطَأَ فِيهِ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah narrated to us: al-Layth narrated to us, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from his father, that the Prophet said: ‘Bilal gives the call to prayer during the night, so eat and drink until you hear the call to prayer of Ibn Umm Maktum.’
Abu Isa said: Reports on this subject are also related from Ibn Mas‘ud, A’ishah, Unaysah, Anas, Abu Dharr, and Samurah. The hadith of Ibn Umar is hasan sahih. The scholars differed concerning the call to prayer at night: some held that if the caller gives it at night, that is sufficient and he need not repeat it; this was the view of Malik, Ibn al-Mubarak, al-Shafi‘i, Ahmad, and Ishaq. Others held that if he gives it at night, he repeats it; this was the view of Sufyan al-Thawri.
Hammad ibn Salamah narrated from Ayyub, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, that Bilal gave the call to prayer at night, and the Prophet instructed him to announce: ‘The servant has slept.’ Abu Isa said: This report is not preserved. The sound version is what Ubayd Allah ibn Umar and others narrated from Nafi, from Ibn Umar: the Prophet said, ‘Bilal gives the call to prayer during the night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum gives the call to prayer.’ Abd al-Aziz ibn Abi Rawwad narrated from Nafi that a caller for Umar gave the call at night, so Umar instructed him to repeat it. This report is also unsound, since its chain from Nafi to Umar is interrupted; perhaps Hammad intended this report. The sound version is the narration of Ubayd Allah and others from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, and of al-Zuhri from Salim, from Ibn Umar, that the Prophet said: ‘Bilal gives the call to prayer during the night.’ Abu Isa explained that if Hammad’s report were sound, this hadith would make no sense: the Prophet’s statement about Bilal calling at night informs them of what is to come. Had he instructed Bilal to repeat the call after giving it before dawn, he would not have said that Bilal calls at night. Ali ibn al-Madini said Hammad ibn Salamah’s report from Ayyub, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet is not preserved, and Hammad erred in it.

The Arabic includes extensive hadith-critical and legal commentary beyond the English witness.
وَرَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ بِلاَلاً أَذَّنَ بِلَيْلٍ فَأَمَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنْ يُنَادِيَ " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ نَامَ " .
The compiler judges this raised report not preserved and distinguishes a separate interrupted report from Nafi to Umar.
Is the distinction between the disputed Prophetic report and the separate interrupted report clear?
