1239 – Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had two callers to prayer: Bilāl and Ibn Umm Maktūm. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Bilāl calls the adhān while it is still night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktūm gives the adhān.’” Ibn ʿUmar added: “There was no interval between their calls except that the first would descend and the second would climb up.” Agreed upon.

(1) The word rushd, whether vocalized with a damma followed by sukun or with two fathas, signifies the opposite of ghayy (misguidance). (2) The phrase refers to the Jews and Christians. “Akl al-sahar” means suhur, the pre-dawn meal.
