' I said, 'I will call (the people) to prayer. ' He said, 'Shall I not tell you of something better than that? ' I said, 'What is it? ' he said, 'Say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'alas-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (Allah is The Most Great, Allah is The Most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah). " 'Abdullah bin Zaid went out and came to the Messenger of Allah, and told him what he had seen. He said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw a man wearing two green garments carrying a bell, " and he told him the story. The Messenger of Allah said, "Your companion has had a dream. Go out with Bilal to the mosque and teach it to him, for he has a louder voice than you. " I ('Abdullah) went out with Bilal to the mosque, and I started teaching him the words and he was calling them out. 'Umar Al. Khattab heard the voice and came out saying, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I saw the same (dream) as him. " (Hasan)Abu 'Ubaid said: "Abu Bakr Al-Hakami told me that 'Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Ansari said concerning that: 'I praise Allah, the Possessor of majesty and honor, A great deal of praise for the Adhan. Since the news of it came to me from Allah, So due to it, I was honored by the information. During the three nights. Each of which increased me in honor.

So, bilal did. ~A women said to bilal “ my house is the tallest here, use the roof of it to call for salah. ~ when people complimented him about his beautiful voice, he just said “ I was only a slave yesterday. ”

Divine Justice ~Bilal fought in many battles. But in the battle of badr, he came face to face with his old master. They fought, and bilal killed Umayyah. ~ After the battle of Khaibar, Rasulullah (s) Said to keep watch until dawn so that others might sleep. Bilal volunteered to do it. He prayed as long as he could, and almost made it through dawn, but fell asleep before his watch was through. Every person woke to the heat of the sun, but have missed fajr! When Rasulullah (S) rode his camel, he told everyone to preform wudu, and then went to bilal, and told him to say the azan. After they prayed, Rasulullah told everyone Indeed, I am Allah.
