English translation

533. It was reported from 'Abdul-'Azīz bin Abī Rawwād: "Nāfi' informed us that there was a Mu'adh-dhīn that 'Umar had by the name of Masrūh. Once, he proclaimed the Adhān before Ṣubh (Fajr), so 'Umar commanded him..." and he mentioned similarly (د. ٥٣٢). (Hasan) Abū Dāwūd said: Hammād bin Zayd reported from 'Ubaidullāh bin ‘Umar, from Nāfi’ or other than him, that the name of ‘Umar’s Mu’adh-dhīn was Masrūh [or other than that]. Abū Dāwūd said: Ad-Darāwardī reported from ‘Ubaidullāh, from Nāfi’, from Ibn ‘Umar who said: “‘Umar had a Mu’adh-dhīn named Mas’ūd, and he mentioned similarly, and this is more correct than that (the previous version).

533 - حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا نَافِعٌ عَنْ مُؤَذِّنٍ لِعُمَرَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَسْرُوحٌ أَذَّنَ قَبْلَ الصُّبْحِ فَأَمَرَهُ عُمَرُ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ أَنَّ مُؤَذِّنًا لِعُمَرَ، يُقَالُ لَهُ: مَسْرُوحٌ أَوْ غَيْرُهُ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: رَوَاهُ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كَانَ لِعُمَرَ مُؤَذِّنٌ، يُقَالُ: لَهُ مَسْعُودٌ وَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ ذَاكَ

    [1] Meaning either that he announced that he was heedless of the time, or that he was returning to sleep since some of the night yet remained, letting the people know that so they would not rush from sleep out of their homes. This narration appears to have occurred early after the Hijrah, since it is confirmed later in the life of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ that Bilāl would call the Adhān during the night, and then Ibn Umm Maktūm would call the Adhān after him with the onset of Fajr. This is supported by the narration recorded by Al-Bukhārī, Muslim, and others, wherein the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān during the night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktūm calls the Adhān." See Ma'ālam As-Sunan by Al-Khaṭṭābī and 'Awn Al-Ma'būd.
