414 – Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “How can I feel at ease (3) when the bearer of the horn has already put the horn to his mouth and is listening attentively for permission—waiting to be ordered to blow, and when he is ordered, he will blow?”
