English Translation

Zayd ibn al-Ḥubāb Abū al-Ḥusayn al-ʿUklī narrated to us, he said: Abū Sahl Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr informed me, he said: ʿAbdullāh ibn Muḥammad ibn Zayd informed me, from his uncle ʿAbdullāh ibn Zayd, that he was shown the adhān (in a dream). He said: I came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and told him. He said: 'Teach it to Bilāl.' So I taught him and he called the adhān. When Bilāl wanted to call the iqāmah, I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, I saw it — I want to call the iqāmah.' He said: 'Then you call it.' So I called the iqāmah and Bilāl called the adhān.
