English Translation

Hashim told us, Abd al-Aziz - that is, Ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Salama - told us, Ibn Shihab informed us, from Salim, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Bilal calls the adhan at night, so eat and drink until you hear the adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum." He said: Ibn Umm Maktum was a blind man who could not see; he would not call the adhan until the people said to him, "Call the adhan, morning has come."
