It is narrated from Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar that a poet recited a qasida before Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the death of his son Bilal, saying: "Abdullah's Bilal was the best Bilal." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are wrong; he was the Bilal of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."
