May Allah preserve him.
0:24
The Legislation of the Adhan.
0:32
The Adhan was legislated in the first year of the Hijrah.
0:35
The two Sheikhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim) narrated in their Sahih collections,
0:38
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, who said:
0:42
When the Muslims arrived in Medina,
0:45
They would gather and estimate the time for prayer,
0:48
As there was no call for it.
0:50
One day, they discussed this matter.
0:53
Some of them said,
0:55
"Adopt a bell like the bell of the Christians."
0:58
Others said,
1:00
"Rather, a horn like the horn of the Jews."
1:03
Then 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
1:06
"Will you not send a man to call for the prayer?"
1:10
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,
1:13
"O Bilal, stand up and call for the prayer."
1:18
In another narration in the two Sahihs,
1:20
On the authority of Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
1:24
When the number of people increased,
1:26
They considered how to make the prayer time known by something they would recognize.
1:31
They suggested lighting a fire or striking a bell.
1:36
Abu Dawud narrated in his Sunan with a sound (sahih) chain,
1:40
On the authority of Abu 'Umayr bin Anas,
1:42
From his paternal uncles among the Ansar,
1:45
Who said:
1:46
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was concerned about the prayer,
1:51
And how to gather the people for it.
1:53
It was suggested to him,
1:55
"Raise a flag when the prayer time arrives;
1:58
When they see it, they will inform one another."
2:01
But he did not approve of that.
2:06
The Dream of 'Abdullah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him.
2:11
Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad,
2:14
As did Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah,
2:17
With the wording belonging to Ahmad, through a fair (hasan) chain,
2:20
On the authority of 'Abdullah bin Zayd bin 'Abd Rabbihi, may Allah be pleased with him,
2:24
Who said:
2:26
When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, resolved
2:29
To strike the bell
2:32
To gather the people for prayer,
2:34
While he disliked the practice of the Christians,
2:37
A visitor came to me in the night while I was sleeping,
2:41
A man wearing two green garments,
2:44
Carrying a bell in his hand.
2:47
I said to him,
2:48
"O servant of Allah, will you sell the bell?"
2:52
He said, "What will you do with it?"
2:54
I said, "We will call to prayer with it."
2:58
He said,
2:59
"Shall I not guide you to something better than that?"
3:02
I said, "Yes."
3:04
He said,
3:05
"Say:
3:06
Allah is the Greatest,
3:08
Allah is the Greatest,
3:09
Allah is the Greatest,
3:11
Allah is the Greatest,
3:13
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,
3:17
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,
3:20
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,
3:24
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,
3:28
Come to prayer,
3:32
Come to success,
3:36
Allah is the Greatest,
3:40
There is no god but Allah."
3:43
Then he stepped back a little and said,
3:46
"Then say when you establish the prayer:
3:49
Allah is the Greatest,
3:52
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,
3:56
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, come to prayer, come to success, the prayer has begun, the prayer has begun,
4:08
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah."
4:15
He said: When morning came, I went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and informed him of what I had seen.
4:24
The Messenger of Allah said, "This is a true vision, if Allah wills. Then command the Adhan."
4:32
So Bilal, the freed slave of Abu Bakr, began to call the Adhan. In a narration by Ibn Majah, the Messenger of Allah,
4:41
Peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to 'Abdullah bin Zayd, may Allah be pleased with him, "Go out with Bilal
4:47
To the mosque and dictate it to him, for he has a louder voice than you." He said: So I went out with
4:57
Bilal to the mosque, and I began to dictate it to him while he called it out. 'Umar bin al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, heard
5:05
The voice and came out, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, by Allah, I have seen the same as what he saw."
5:14
Abu Dawud added: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, "To Allah belongs all praise."
5:22
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded the building of mosques in the villages.
5:31
Imam al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud narrated with a sound chain on the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her,
5:39
Who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, commanded the building of mosques in the neighborhoods, and that
5:46
They be kept clean and perfumed. Imam al-Tirmidhi said: Sufyan said, "His saying 'in the neighborhoods'
5:55
Means the tribes." Imam al-Dhahabi said: "The neighborhood (dar) is the village, and the neighborhood of
6:03
Bani 'Awf is Quba." Thus, the construction of his mosque, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, took place in Bani Malik
6:10
bin al-Najjar, which was a small village. Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad with a fair chain on the authority of
6:19
'Urwah bin al-Zubayr, from one who narrated to him from the Companions of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
6:24
Who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, used to command us to build mosques
6:32
In our neighborhoods, to maintain their structure, and to keep them clean. Al-Sindi said: His saying "maintain their
6:40
Structure" means with precision and by spending lawful wealth, not by excessive decoration. I say: This
6:48
Command was in the first year of the Hijrah. The writing of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,
6:57
Of the document and the peace treaty with the Jews. Ibn Ishaq said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wrote
7:06
A document between the Muhajirun and the Ansar, in which he made peace with the Jews and entered into a covenant with them,
7:13
Confirming them in their religion and their wealth, stipulating conditions for them and upon them. Imam [Ibn Ishaq] said:
7:22
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, made peace with the Jews who were in Medina and wrote
7:30
A document between himself and them. Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih on the authority of Jabir bin 'Abdullah,
7:37
May Allah be pleased with them both, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wrote that every clan is responsible for its own blood money (diya).
7:45
The "clan" (batn) is a group smaller than a tribe and larger than a family unit, and "blood money" (uqul) refers to the compensations. I say:
7:54
Ibn Ishaq mentioned the clauses of this document, and even if its chain is not established,
8:01
It is confirmed in the events of the Prophetic biography that its clauses are authentic. A Concise Summary of the Seerah.
8:11
If the longing of the worlds for some is long, the longing for you has no limit.
8:24
May Allah send blessings upon you as long as the call is raised and lips move with the remainder.
