حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رضى الله عنهما

قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ بِلَالاً يُؤَذِّنُ بِلَيْلٍ فَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يُؤَذِّنَ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا أَذَانَ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ». وَكَانَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ رَجُلاً أَعْمَى، لَا يُؤَذِّنُ حَتَّى يَقُولَ لَهُ النَّاسُ أَصْبَحْتَ

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Bilal pronounces the Adhan when it is still night (before dawn), so eat and drink till the next Adhan is pronounced (or till you hear Ibn Um Maktum’s Adhan).” Ibn Um Maktum was a blind man who would not pronounce the Adhan till he was told that it was dawn.

‘আবদুল্লাহ ইবনু ‘উমার (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) বলেছেন, বিলাল (রাঃ) রাত থাকতেই আযান দিয়ে থাকে। সুতরাং ইবনু উম্মে মাকতূম (রাঃ) আযান দেয়া পর্যন্ত তোমরা পানাহার করতে পার। অথবা তিনি বলেন, ইবনু উম্মে মাকতূমের আযান শোনা পর্যন্ত। ইবনু মাকতূম (রাঃ) অন্ধ ছিলেন, ‘সকাল হয়েছে’ লোকেরা এ কথা তাকে না বলা পর্যন্ত তিনি আযান দিতেন না। (৬১৭)

ہم سے مالک بن اسماعیل نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے عبدالعزیز بن ابی سلمہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم کو ابن شہاب نے خبر دی سالم بن عبداللہ سے اور ان سے عبداللہ بن عمر رضی اللہ عنہما نے بیان کیا کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”بلال رضی اللہ عنہ رات میں اذان دیتے ہیں۔

اس لیے تم لوگ سحری کھا پی سکتے ہو یہاں تک کہ ( فجر کے لیے ) دوسری اذان پکاری جائے۔“ یا ( یہ فرمایا ) یہاں تک کہ ”عبداللہ ابن ام مکتوم رضی اللہ عنہ کی اذان سن لو۔“ عبداللہ ابن ام مکتوم رضی اللہ عنہ نابینا تھے اور جب تک ان سے کہا نہ جاتا صبح ہو گئی ہے، وہ اذان نہیں دیتے تھے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Malik bin isma'il] telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdul 'aziz bin Abu Salamah] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Syihab] dari [Salim bin 'Abdullah] dari ['Abdullah bin 'Umar radliallahu 'anhuma] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Bilal mengumandangkan adzan di tengah malam, maka silahkan kalian makan dan minum hingga adzan dikumandangkan", atau Beliau bersabda; "Hingga kalian dengar adzan Ibnu Ummi Maktum".

Dan Ibnu Ummi Maktum adalah seorang sahabat yang buta, yang dia tidak mengumandangkan adzan kecuali setelah orang-orang berkata kepadanya 'Heih, sekarang engkau telah berada di waktu pagi (sekarang giliranmu)

Abdullah b. Ömer'den rivayet edilmiştir: Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem şöyle buyurdu: "Bilal ezanı geceden okur. Siz İbn Ümmü Mektum'un ezanını duyuncaya kadar yiyip içmeye devam edin." İbn Ümmü Mektum, görme engelliydi. İnsanlar ona "sabah vakti girdi" deyinceye kadar ezan okumazdı

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) had two Muezzins: Bilāl ibn Rabāh and ‘Abdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm, who was blind. Bilāl (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make the Adhān for the Fajr prayer before the break of dawn, because this prayer occurs at the time of sleep and people need to get ready for it before its time.

Hence, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) notified his Companions that Bilāl (may Allah be pleased with him) would call the Adhān during the night, and ordered them to eat and drink until the break of dawn, when the second Muezzin, ‘Abdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm (may Allah be pleased with him), would call the second Adhān.

This was addressed to whoever intended to fast. So, at that point a person should stop eating and drinking, since the time for prayer would start. This is specific to the Fajr prayer, as it is not permissible in any other prayer to call the Adhān before its due time starts. There is a difference in scholarly opinion concerning the first Adhān for the Fajr prayer: Is it sufficient, or is the second Adhān, which indicates the beginning of the prayer time, necessary?

The majority of scholars are of the opinion that the first Adhān is permissible, but not sufficient.
