512. Muḥammad bin ‘Abdullāh narrated from his paternal uncle ‘Abdullāh bin Zaid that he said: “The Prophet ﷺ wanted to announce (the times of the prayer) by various methods, but he did not implement any of these (options).” He (Muḥammad) said: “So ‘Abdullāh bin Zaid was shown the Adhān in a dream, and he came to the Prophet ﷺ to inform him. He said: ‘Teach it to Bilāl,’ so he taught him, and Bilāl called the Adhān. ‘Abdullāh said: ‘I was the one who saw it (in the dream), and I wanted to do it myself!’ So he (ﷺ) said: ‘Then you call the Iqāmah.’” (Da’if)
