606. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه: When the number of Muslims increased they discussed the question as to how to know the time for Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayers) by some familiar means. Some suggested that a fire be lit [at the time of Ṣalāt (prayer)] and others put forward the proposal to ring the bell. Bilāl was ordered to pronounce the wording of Adhān twice (in doubles) and of the Iqāma once (in singles) only.
606 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ ابْنُ سَلاَمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ الحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «لَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ» قَالَ: «ذَكَرُوا أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا وَقْتَ الصَّلاَةِ بِشَيْءٍ يَعْرِفُونَهُ، فَذَكَرُوا أَنْ يُورُوا نَارًا، أَوْ يَضْرِبُوا نَاقُوسًا فَأُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الأَذَانَ، وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ»
