641. It was narrated from Khubaib bin 'Abdur-Rahmân that his paternal aunt Unaisah said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'When Ibn Umm Maktûm calls the Adhân, eat and drink, and when Bilâl calls the Adhân, do not eat nor drink.'" (Sahîh)
640 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَنْصُورٌ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ عَمَّتِهِ أُنَيْسَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَذَّنَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا، وَإِذَا أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ فَلَا تَأْكُلُوا وَلَا تَشْرَبُوا»

It is probable that, early on, Bilal ﷺ used to pronounce the first Adhân and Amr bin Umm Maktoum the second. Later, Bilal might have been made responsible for announcing the second Adhân, and Amr bin Umm Maktûm the first. Hâfiz Ibn Hajar has, in his Fath Al-Bârî made an allusion to this matter. And Allâh knows best!
