Bayhaqi 1793 — The interval between the adhans of Bilal

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ ثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي خُبَيْبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَمَّتِي وَكَانَتْ قَدْ حَجَّتْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُؤَذِّنَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ " أَوْ قَالَ: " إِنَّ ابْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُؤَذِّنَ بِلَالٌ " قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ يَصْعَدُ هَذَا وَيَنْزِلُ هَذَا فَكُنَّا نَتَعَلَّقُ بِهِ فَنَقُولُ: كَمَا أَنْتَ حَتَّى نَتَسَحَّرَ. وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَقِيهُ قَالَ: فَإِنْ صَحَّ رِوَايَةُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَغَيْرُهُ فَقَدْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَيْنَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَبَيْنَ بِلَالٍ نُوَبٌ فَكَانَ بِلَالٌ إِذَا كَانَتْ نَوْبَتُهُ أَذَّنَ بِلَيْلٍ وَكَانَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ إِذَا كَانَتْ نَوْبَتُهُ أَذَّنَ بِلَيْلٍ وَهَذَا جَائِزٌ صَحِيحٌ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَصِحَّ فَقَدْ صَحَّ خَبَرُ ابْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَسَمُرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ أَنَّ بِلَالًا كَانَ يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: وَقَدْ رُوِيَ فِي حَدِيثِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ تَقْدِيمُ أَذَانِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ.
Khubayb bin Abd al-Rahman says: I heard my aunt Unaysah (may Allah be pleased with her), who had performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), say that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gives the adhan at night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum gives the adhan." Or he said: "Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) gives the adhan at night, so eat and drink until Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gives the adhan." She said: This one would go up and that one would come down, and we would cling to him and say: "Stay as you are until we have taken our sahur."
Abu Bakr bin Ishaq al-Faqih (may Allah have mercy on him) says: If the narration of Abu Amr and others is authentic, then it is possible that Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum and Bilal (may Allah be pleased with them both) had turns between them: when it was the turn of Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), he would give the adhan at night, and when it was the turn of Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), he would give the adhan at night.
This is permissible and sound. And if it is not authentic, then the report of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), Ibn Mas'ud, Samurah (may Allah be pleased with them) and Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) is authentic, that Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give the adhan at night.
The Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) says: In the hadith of Urwah from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) being first has been narrated.
