Bayhaqi 1834 — The beginning of the adhan

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا عَبَّادُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْخُتُلِّيُّ، وَزِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَحَدِيثُ عَبَّادٍ أَتَمُّ قَالَا: ثنا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، قَالَ زِيَادٌ: أنا أَبُو بِشْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُمَيْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عُمُومَةٍ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ: اهْتَمَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلصَّلَاةِ كَيْفَ يَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ لَهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ: انْصِبْ رَايَةً عِنْدَ حُضُورِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِذَا رَأَوْهَا آذَنَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا فَلَمْ يُعْجِبْهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: فَذُكِرَ لَهُ الْقُنْعُ يَعْنِي الشَّبُّورَ وَقَالَ زِيَادٌ: شَبُّورُ الْيَهُودِ فَلَمْ يُعْجِبْهُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: " هُوَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْيَهُودِ " قَالَ: فَذُكِرَ لَهُ النَّاقُوسُ فَقَالَ: " هُوَ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّصَارَى " فَانْصَرَفَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَهُو مُهْتَمٌّ لِهَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُرِيَ الْأَذَانَ فِي مَنَامِهِ قَالَ: فَغَدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي لَبَيْنَ نَائِمٍ وَيَقْظَانَ إِذْ أَتَانِي آتٍ فَأَرَانِي الْأَذَانَ قَالَ: وَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابٍ قَدْ رَآهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَكَتَمَهُ عِشْرِينَ يَوْمًا قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ: " مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَنَا؟ " فَقَالَ: سَبَقَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا بِلَالُ قُمْ فَانْظُرْ مَا يَأْمُرُكَ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَافْعَلْهُ " قَالَ: فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ قَالَ أَبُو بِشْرٍ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُمَيْرٍ أَنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ لَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَرِيضًا لَجَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُؤَذِّنًا.
Abu Umayr bin Anas narrates from his paternal uncles of the Ansar that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was concerned about the prayer, how he should gather the people for it. It was said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): Set up a banner when the time of prayer comes; when the people see it, they will inform one another. That did not please him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the shabbur (horn) was mentioned to him (peace and blessings be upon him) - Ziyad says: the shabbur of the Jews - and that did not please him (peace and blessings be upon him) either; rather he said: "That is a practice of the Jews." Then the bell was mentioned to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is a practice of the Christians." Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) went away, concerned with the concern of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was shown the adhan in his sleep. He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the morning and informed him (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: O Messenger of Allah, I was between sleep and wakefulness when suddenly someone came to me and taught me the adhan. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) had seen this same dream before him, but he kept it hidden for twenty days. Then he informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What prevented you from informing us?" He said: Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) got ahead of me, and I felt shy. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Bilal, stand up and see what Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) tells you to do, and do it." Then Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the adhan. Abu Bishr says: Abu Umayr informed me that the Ansar claimed that had Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) not been ill in those days, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would have made him the muezzin.
