English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him), whenever he came to Quba', Bilal would call the adhan so the people would know the Messenger of Allah had arrived and gather around him. One day he came without Bilal. Sa'd went up to the minaret and called the adhan. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "What made you call the adhan, O Sa'd?" He said: "May my father and mother be your ransom — I saw you had few people with you and I did not see Bilal, and I saw these slaves looking at one another and at you, so I feared for you from them, and I called the adhan." He said: "You did well, O Sa'd. When you do not see Bilal with me, call the adhan." Sa'd called the adhan three times during the lifetime of the Prophet.
