Muhammad bin Abdullah narrates from his uncle, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to adopt different forms, but he had not yet adopted any of them. The narrator states: Then Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid was taught the method of the adhan in a dream. He came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him about it, so he said: "You tell this to Bilal." He told Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), so Sayyiduna Bilal gave the adhan. Sayyiduna Abdullah narrates: I was watching him; I myself wanted to give it, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You say the iqamah."
