Chapter on the Adhan (Call to Prayer)

Zujajat al-Masabih 895Volume 1

English

It is narrated from 'Urwah ibn Az-Zubayr, from a woman of Banu Najjar, that she said: "My house was one of the tallest houses around the mosque. Bilal used to call the Adhan for Fajr from it. He would come in the early hours of the morning, sit on the roof, and wait for Fajr. When he saw it, he would stretch and say, 'O Allah, I praise You and seek Your help against Quraysh to establish Your religion.' Then he would call the Adhan. By Allah, I never knew him to miss these words for a single night."

[Narrated by Abu Dawud, who said: "It indicates that the Adhan should be called from a high place. Its chain is Hasan."]
