English translation
[847] 9 - (382) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ used to attack at dawn (during military expeditions), so that he could listen out for the Adhân. If he heard the Adhân then he would refrain from attacking, otherwise he would attack. He heard a man saying: 'Allâhu akbaru Allâhu akbar' and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'He is following the Fiṭrah.' Then he said: 'Ashhadu an lâ ilâha illallâh, Ashhadu an lâ ilâha illallâh (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh).' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'You have escaped the Fire.' They looked, and saw that he was a goatherd."
