Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 1009 — Sayyiduna Bilal came to Sayyiduna Abu

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الصَّائِغُ الْمَكِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعُمَرُ، وَعَمَّارٌ أَبِي حَفْصٍ، عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ، عَنْ أَجْدَادِهِمْ، قَالُوا: جَاءَ بِلَالٌ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ عَمَلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ» وَقَدْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَرْبِطَ نَفْسِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَنَا أَنْشُدُكَ بِاللهِ يَا بِلَالُ، وَحُرْمَتِي وَحَقِّي لَقَدْ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي، وَضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتِي، وَاقْتَرَبَ أَجَلِي، فَأَقَامَ بِلَالٌ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ جَاءَ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَأَبَى بِلَالٌ عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: فَمَنْ يَا بِلَالُ؟ فَقَالَ: إِلَى سَعْدٍ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَذَّنَ بِقُبَاءَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَ عُمَرُ الْأَذَانَ إِلَى سَعْدٍ وَعَقِبِهِ
It is narrated that Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Caliph of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The best deed of a believer is jihad in the path of Allah," and I wish to devote myself to the path of Allah until I die. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I adjure you by Allah, O Bilal, and by my sanctity and my right (over you): my age has advanced, my strength has weakened and my death has drawn near. So Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed with him. Then when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said the same thing to him that Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) had said, but Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) refused. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then to whom will you go, O Bilal? Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said: To Sa'd, for he gave the call to prayer (adhan) at Quba in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) entrusted (the responsibility of) the adhan to Sa'd and his descendants.
