حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ أَبِي حَسَّانَ الْأَنْمَاطِيُّ، ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا: ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْقَرَظُ مُؤَذِّنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَ بِلَالًا أَنْ يُدْخِلَ أَصْبُعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ أَرْفَعُ لِصَوْتِكَ»
«وَإِنَّ أَذَانَ بِلَالٍ كَانَ مَثْنَى ومَثْنَى، وتَشَهُّدُهُ مُضَعَّفٌ، وإِقَامَتُهُ مُفْرَدَةٌ، وَقَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِلْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا كَانَ الْفَيْءُ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ»
«وَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى الْعِيدَيْنِ سَلَكَ عَلَى دَارِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، ثُمَّ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ الْفَسَاطِيطِ، ثُمَّ بَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ فِي الْأُولَى سَبْعًا قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، ثُمَّ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الطَّرِيقِ الْآخَرِ، مِنْ طَرِيقِ بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ، فَذَبَحَ أُضْحِيَّتَهُ عِنْدَ طَرَفِ الزُّقَاقِ بِيَدِهِ بِشَفْرَةٍ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَلَى دَارِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ وَدَارِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِالْبَلَاطِ»
«وَكَانَ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى الْعِيدَيْنِ مَاشِيًا، وَيَرْجِعُ مَاشِيًا، وَكَانَ يُكَبِّرُ بَيْنَ أَضْعَافِ الْخُطْبَةِ، وَيُكْثِرُ التَّكْبِيرَ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ لِلْعِيدَيْنِ»
«وَكَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْحَرْبِ، خَطَبَ عَلَى قَوْسٍ» ، «وَإِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ، خَطَبَ عَلَى عَصًا» ، وَإِنَّ بِلَالًا كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ بِالْأَذَانِ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَيَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ، ثُمَّ يَنْحَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَيَقُولُ: حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَنْحَرِفُ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَيَقُولُ: حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَيَقُولُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ "
«وَإِنَّ أَذَانَ بِلَالٍ كَانَ مَثْنَى ومَثْنَى، وتَشَهُّدُهُ مُضَعَّفٌ، وإِقَامَتُهُ مُفْرَدَةٌ، وَقَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِلْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا كَانَ الْفَيْءُ مِثْلَ الشِّرَاكِ»

«وَكَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْحَرْبِ، خَطَبَ عَلَى قَوْسٍ» ، «وَإِذَا خَطَبَ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ، خَطَبَ عَلَى عَصًا» ، وَإِنَّ بِلَالًا كَانَ إِذَا كَبَّرَ بِالْأَذَانِ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: " اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، وَيَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ، ثُمَّ يَنْحَرِفُ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَيَقُولُ: حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَنْحَرِفُ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَيَقُولُ: حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، مَرَّتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَيَقُولُ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd al-Qaraz (may Allah be pleased with him), the mu'adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to put his two fingers in his ears, and said: "It raises your voice more."
And that the adhan of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was (in phrases of) two and two, and his tashahhud was repeated, while his iqamah was single, and he said "The prayer has begun" (Qad qamat al-salah) only once. And in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) he used to call the adhan for Jumu'ah on Friday when the shadow was equal to a sandal strap.
And that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for the two Eids, he would take the way past the house of Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), then past the people of the tents. Then he would begin with the prayer before the sermon: in the first rak'ah he said seven takbirs before the recitation, and in the second five takbirs before the recitation. Then he would address the people, then return by the other way, that is, by the way of Banu Zurayq, and slaughter his sacrificial animal at the end of the lane with his own hand with a knife. Then he would go out past the houses of Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) towards al-Balat.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to the two Eids walking and return walking, and he would say the takbir many times during the sermon, and he would say the takbir abundantly in the sermon of the two Eids.
And when he gave a sermon in war, he gave it leaning on a bow, and in the Jumu'ah sermon he leaned on a staff. And when Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) said the takbir in the adhan, he faced the qiblah, then said: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah (twice); I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah (twice). Then, facing the qiblah, he would turn to the right and say: Come to prayer (twice); then he would turn to the left and say: Come to success (twice); then, facing the qiblah, he would say: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.
And that the adhan of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was (in phrases of) two and two, and his tashahhud was repeated, while his iqamah was single, and he said "The prayer has begun" (Qad qamat al-salah) only once.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْمَعْمَرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُصَفًّى، ثنا بَقِيَّةُ، ثنا الزُّبَيْدِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ الْقَرَظِ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ، وعُمُومَتَهُ أَخْبَرُوهُ: «أَنَّ سَعْدًا الْقَرَظَ كَانَ مُؤَذِّنًا لِأَهْلِ قُبَاءَ، فَانْتَقَلَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَاتَّخَذَهُ مُؤَذِّنًا» ، إِنَّ السُّنَّةَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْأَضْحَى وَالْفِطْرِ أَنْ يُكَبِّرَ الْإِمَامُ فِي الْأُولَى سَبْعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَيُكَبِّرَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ خَمْسَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ قَبْلَ الْقِرَاءَةِ "
Hafs bin Umar bin Sa'd al-Qaraz relates, through his father and his paternal uncles, that Sa'd al-Qaraz (may Allah be pleased with him) was the mu'adhdhin of the people of Quba'; then Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) moved him to Madinah and made him his own mu'adhdhin. The Sunnah in the prayer of Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr is that the imam says seven takbirs in the first rak'ah before the recitation, and five takbirs in the second rak'ah before the recitation.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الرَّازِيُّ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَعَنْ عَمَّارٍ، وَعُمَرَ ابْنَيْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ، عَنْ أجْدَادِهِمْ، عَنْ سَعْدٍ، «أَنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا بَدَأَ الْأَذَانُ أَنَّهُ أُرِيَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَأَخْبَرَهُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلَالًا أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ» ، فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَيْهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ: اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، ثُمَّ عَادَ: أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the adhan first began in this way: a man from the Ansar was shown the adhan in a dream, and he told the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to call the adhan. That Ansari taught it to him like this: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah. Then he repeated: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah; come to prayer, come to prayer; come to success, come to success; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is no god but Allah.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَوَّلِ، ثنا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجُعْفِيُّ، ثنا الْحَوْضِيُّ شَيْخٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ «وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ جَعَلَ لَهُ أَذَانًا»
Al-Hawdi, a shaykh from the people of Madinah, narrates from his father, from his grandfather (Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him)), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had assigned to him the duty of the adhan.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَائِذِ الْقَرَظُ، ٢٥ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، وَعَنْ عَمَّارٍ، وَعُمَرَ ابْنَيْ حَفْصِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ آبَائِهِمْ، عَنْ أجْدَادِهِمْ، عنْ سَعْدٍ الْقَرَظِ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَيَّ سَاعَةٍ أَتَى قُبَاءَ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ بِالْأَذَانِ، لِأَنْ يَعْلَمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ جَاءَ، فَيَجْتَمِعُوا إِلَيْهِ، فَأَتَى يَوْمًا وَلَيْسَ مَعَهُ بِلَالٌ فَنَظَرَ زُنُوجُ النُّصْحِ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ، فَرَقَى سَعْدٌ فِي عِذْقِ الْأَذَانِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى أَنْ تُؤَذِّنَ يَا سَعْدُ» ، قَالَ: بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي، رَأَيْتُكَ فِي قِلَّةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلَمْ أَرَ بِلَالًا مَعَكَ، وَرَأَيْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ الزُّنُوجِ يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ، فَخَشِيتُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهُمْ، فَأَذَّنْتُ، قَالَ: «أَصَبْتَ يَا سَعْدُ، إِذَا لَمْ تَرَ بِلَالًا مَعِي فَأَذِّنْ» ، فَأَذَّنَ سَعْدٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي حَيَاةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd al-Qaraz (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to Quba', Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) would call the adhan, so that the people would know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had arrived and would gather to him. One day he came while Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) was not with him, and the Zanj (black) servants began looking at one another. At that, Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) climbed up to the place of the adhan. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Sa'd, what made you call the adhan?" He said: May my father and mother be your ransom! I saw you with few people, and I did not see Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) with you, and I saw these Zanj looking at one another and looking at you, so I feared for you from them, and therefore I called the adhan. He said: "You did right, O Sa'd. Whenever you do not see Bilal with me, call the adhan." So Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) called the adhan three times during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ، بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ فِي الْمَطَرِ»
It is narrated with the same chain that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to combine the Maghrib and Isha prayers at times of rain.
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ «أَنَّ النَّجَاشِيَّ بَعَثَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَلَاثِ عَنْزَاتٍ، فَأَمْسَكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَاحِدَةً لِنَفْسِهِ، وَأَعْطَى عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ وَاحِدَةً، وَعُمَرَ وَاحِدَةً، وَكَانَ بِلَالٌ يَمْشِي بِهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيَرْكُزُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ، فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا»
It is narrated with the same chain that the Negus (al-Najashi) sent three short spears to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept one for himself, gave one to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and gave one to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) used to carry it walking ahead of him (peace and blessings be upon him) and, on the occasion of the two Eids, plant it in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray facing it.
