The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bilal calls the adhan during the night, so eat and drink until you hear the adhan of Ibn Umm Maktum."The narrator added that Ibn Umm Maktum was a blind man who could not see, and he would not call the adhan until people would tell him, "Dawn has come."
حدثنا هاشم حدثنا عبد العزيز يعني ابن عبد الله بن أبي سلمة أخبرنا ابن شهاب
قال رسول الله ﷺ إن بلالا ينادي بليل فكلوا واشربوا حتى تسمعوا تأذين ابن أم مكتوم قال وكان ابن أم مكتوم رجلا أعمى لا يبصر لا يؤذن حتى يقول الناس أذن قد أصبحت
Its chain of transmission is sahih. Bukhari related it, 5:195, from Malik bin Ismail from Abdul-Aziz, with this same chain, in similar wording. Malik also related it in the Muwatta, 1:95–96, from Zuhri, likewise in similar wording. It has already appeared in abbreviated form several times, as we noted in the hadith before this one.The one who says, "Ibn Umm Maktum was..." and so on, is Ibn Umar, as is clear from the context. Some scholars have doubted whether this portion is connected to the main chain, since in some narrations it appears as a statement of Zuhri, and in others as a statement of Salim bin Abdullah bin Umar. Ibn Hajar said in Fath al-Bari, 2:82–83, "The fact that Ibn Shihab said it does not preclude the possibility that his teacher also said it, and likewise his teacher's teacher," meaning Ibn Umar. He also said, "Even more conclusive than that is the wording of the author's narration found in the chapter on fasting," meaning Bukhari's narration, 4:117, "until Ibn Umm Maktum gives the call, for he would not give the call until Fajr had risen. I say it is more conclusive because the entire statement is then part of the words of the Prophet."Suyuti said in his commentary on the Muwatta, 1:96, "Humaydi stated explicitly in al-Jam that Abdul-Aziz bin Abu Salama related it from Ibn Shihab, from Salim, from his father, who said, 'Ibn Umm Maktum was...'" and so on to the end. Ibn Hajar said, "Thus the soundness of its connection is established." The narration of Abdul-Aziz is this very narration found in the Musnad.We have added the word "adhan" (the call) from the manuscripts K and M, as it was not mentioned in H, though it is clearly established in the two manuscripts, and indeed it is vocalized in K with a kasrah under the dhal. I did not find it in the narrations of the hadith that I examined, except that in a narration of Bayhaqi in Sunan al-Kubra, 1:380, transmitted through Rabi bin Sulayman, from Abdullah bin Wahb, from Yunus and Layth bin Saad, from Salim, from Ibn Umar, after mentioning the hadith attributed to the Prophet, it states, "Salim said, 'He was a man of impaired eyesight, and he would not give the call until people, upon seeing the break of dawn, would say to him, "Call the adhan."'"This supports this addition, and it is not undermined by the fact that in Rabi's narration it appears as the words of Salim, for this does not preclude the possibility that it is also the words of Ibn Umar, as was noted previously regarding a similar case from Ibn Hajar.
