English translation
203. Sālim narrated from his father (Ibn 'Umar) that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān in the night, so eat and drink until you hear the Adhān of Ibn Umm Maktūm." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū 'Eisā said: There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Mas'ūd, 'Aishah, Unaisah, Anas, Abū Dharr, and Samurah. Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of Ibn 'Umar is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. The people of knowledge differ over the Adhān (for Fajr) called during the night. Some of the people of knowledge said that when the Mu'adh-dhin calls the Adhān during the night, it is acceptable and it need not be repeated. This is the opinion of Mālik, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'i, Aḥmad, and Ishāq. Some of the people of knowledge said that when the Adhān is called during the night it must be repeated, this is the opinion of Sufyān Ath-Thawri. Hammād bin Salamah reported from Ayyūb, from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar: "Bilāl called the Adhān during the night, so the Prophet ﷺ ordered him to call: 'Indeed the worshipper was sleeping.'" Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is not preserved, what is correct is what is 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Umar and others reported from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān in the night, so eat a drink until you hear the Adhān of Ibn Umm Maktūm." [He said:] 'Abdul-'Aziz bin Abī Rawwād reported from Nāfi': "Umar's Mu'adh-dhin called the Adhān during the night, so 'Umar ordered him to repeat the Adhān." This is also not correct, because it is from Nāfi' from 'Umar, it is disconnected. Perhaps Hammād was referring to this narration. What is correct is the narration of 'Ubaidullāh bin 'Umar and others, from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar. And, (the narration of) Az-Zuhri (a narrator in the chain of this Hadīth) from Sālim, from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān in the night" Abū 'Eisā said: If Ḥammād's narration was correct, then there would not be any meaning for this Hadīth, since Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān in the night" so he was only ordering them with something that was about to happen, so he said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān in the night" and if he had ordered him to repeat the Adhān when he called it before Fajr had begun, then he would not have said: "Indeed Bilāl calls the Adhān in the night." 'Alī bin Al-Madīnī said: The narration of Ḥammād bin Salamah, from Ayyūb, from Nāfi', from Ibn 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ is not preserved, and Ḥammād bin Salamah was mistaken in it.
