637 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ بِلَالًا يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ، فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُنَادِيَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ»

Commentary
1. If there are two Adhâns pronounced for a prayer (like the Fajr and the blessed Friday), two Mu'adhhdhins ought to be present, so that the distinction between their voices remains conspicuous and people are able to distinguish between the first and the second Adhâns. 2. During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, there used to be two Adhâns for the Fajr prayer; one was called out by Bilal ﷺ and the second by Ibn Umm Maktûm ﷺ.
