So look to your right, your left, in front of you and behind you: these people around you eat nothing but the meat of birds." Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have spoken the truth. By Allah! I will not rise from this gathering of mine until you set for every man of the Muslims his food and his share of oil and vinegar. The people said: That is up to you, O Commander of the Believers; Allah has granted us abundance in provision and increased the good.

Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: O Messenger of Allah! Whenever I lost my ablution, I did not remain without performing ablution, and whenever I performed ablution, I did not remain without praying two rak'ahs after it.
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.

Mudrik bin Awf said: I passed by Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was sitting at the time of the Fajr prayer. I asked: O Abu Abdullah! What is holding you back? He said: "I am waiting for the sun to rise."
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فُسْتُقَةُ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ: «أَبُو بَكْرٍ سَيِّدُنَا، وَأَعْتَقَ سَيِّدَنَا» يَعْنِي بِلَالًا
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Abu Bakr is our master, and he freed our master," meaning Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him).
