Ibn Ishaq, while listing the names of those from Banu Jusham bin al-Harith and Zayd bin al-Harith (these two were twin brothers) who were present at the Battle of Badr and the Pledge of Aqabah, related that among them was Abdullah bin Zayd bin Abd Rabbih bin Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with him). He is the one who was shown the call to prayer (adhan) in a dream; then he brought it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it (the adhan) be put into practice.

Yahya bin Bukayr relates that Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), the Companion of the adhan (who saw it in a dream), had the kunyah Abu Muhammad.

It is reported from Urwah, concerning those from Banu Jusham bin al-Harith and Zayd bin al-Harith (who were both twin brothers) who were present at the Battle of Badr and the Pledge of Aqabah, that among them were Abdullah bin Zayd bin Abd Rabbih bin Tha'labah bin Zayd bin al-Harith bin al-Khazraj and his brother Hurayth bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them). And Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) is the one who was shown the call to prayer (adhan) in a dream.
