حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ أَرَادَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْأَذَانِ أَشْيَائَ لَمْ يَصْنَعْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا قَالَ فَأُرِيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الْأَذَانَ فِي الْمَنَامِ فَأَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ أَلْقِهِ عَلَی بِلَالٍ فَأَلْقَاهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنَا رَأَيْتُهُ وَأَنَا کُنْتُ أُرِيدُهُ قَالَ فَأَقِمْ أَنْتَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 512
Narrated Abdullah ibn Zayd: The Prophet ﷺ intended to do many things for calling (the people) to prayer, but he did not do any of them. Then Abdullah ibn Zayd was taught in a dream how to pronounce the call to prayer. He came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He said: Teach it to Bilal. He then taught him, and Bilal made a call to prayer. Abdullah said: I saw it in a dream and I wished to pronounce it, but he (the Prophet) said: You should pronounce iqamah.
