عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فَيَتَحَيَّنُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَيْسَ يُنَادِي بِهَا أَحَدٌ، فَتَكَلَّمُوا يَوْمًا فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: اتَّخِذُوا نَاقُوسًا مِثْلَ نَاقُوسِ النَّصَارَى، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: بَلْ قَرْنًا مِثْلَ قَرْنِ الْيَهُودِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: أَوَلَا تَبْعَثُونَ رَجُلًا يُنَادِي بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((يَا بِلَالُ! قُمْ فَنَادِ بِالصَّلَاةِ))
It is narrated from Nafi‘ that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Muslims came to Madinah, they used to gather for prayer by estimating the time; no one used to call the adhan for prayer. One day, the people discussed this matter. Someone suggested making a bell like the Christians’ bell, and some said to make a horn like the Jews’ horn. But Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Why don’t you send a man to announce the prayer at its time? (Since this opinion was liked,) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bilal! Stand up and announce the prayer.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Naqus: The Christians, in order to announce the times of their prayers, strike a small piece of wood against a long piece of wood; this is called a naqus.
Qarn (horn): By blowing from one side, a sound comes out from the other side; this was the method of the Jews for announcing the times of prayers.
