It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Zayd bin Abd Rabbih (may Allah be pleased with them both): My father Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated to me that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a bell to be made so that it could be struck to gather the people for the prayer, a man came around me while I was asleep, carrying a bell in his hand. I said to him: "O servant of Allah, will you sell the bell?" He said: "What will you do with it?" I said: "We will call (people) to the prayer with it." He said: "Shall I not show you something better than that?" I said: "Certainly." He said: "Say: 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar; ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah, ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah; hayya 'ala al-salah, hayya 'ala al-salah; hayya 'ala al-falah, hayya 'ala al-falah; Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar; la ilaha illallah' (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, 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; come to the prayer, come to the prayer; come to success, come to success; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is no god but Allah)." Then he stepped back a little and said: "When you give the iqamah, say: 'Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar; ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; ash-hadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah; hayya 'ala al-salah; hayya 'ala al-falah; qad qamat al-salah, qad qamat al-salah; Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar; la ilaha illallah' (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; 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; come to the prayer; come to success; the prayer has certainly been established, the prayer has certainly been established; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is no god but Allah)." In the morning I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him (peace and blessings be upon him) of what I had seen. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is a true dream, if Allah Almighty wills. Stand with Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and teach him what you saw, and let him give the adhan with these words, for he has a louder voice than you." So I stood with Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him); I would teach him and he would give the adhan. Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this while he was in his house, and he came out dragging his cloak and saying: "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, I too have seen a dream like his." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All praise is for Allah."
