اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، أَنْبَأَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهِ عَنْهُمَا، وَعَنْ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُؤَذِّنَانِ: بِلَالٌ وَابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ، فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا أَذَانَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ" . فَقَالَ الْقَاسِمُ: وَمَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَنْزِلَ هَذَا، وَيَرْقَى هَذَا.
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had two muezzins: Bilal and the son of Umm Maktum. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal gives the call to prayer during the night, so keep eating and drinking until you hear the call to prayer of Ibn Umm Maktum." Qasim said: There was such an interval between their calls to prayer that one would descend and the other would ascend (for the call to prayer).
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 1223 to 1224)
During the era of the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), it was customary that the adhan (call to prayer) for sahur (pre-dawn meal) or tahajjud (late night prayer) was given by Sayyiduna Bilal (radi Allahu anhu), and the adhan for Fajr (dawn prayer) was given by Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum (radi Allahu anhu).
This same practice continued during the era of the Caliphate and has remained in effect up to the present day. Therefore, this is clear evidence for the adhan of sahur and tahajjud.
