حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ قَالَ ـ ذَكَرُوا ـ أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا وَقْتَ الصَّلاَةِ بِشَىْءٍ يَعْرِفُونَهُ، فَذَكَرُوا أَنْ يُورُوا نَارًا أَوْ يَضْرِبُوا نَاقُوسًا، فَأُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الأَذَانَ وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ.

Narrator: Anas bin Malik

English translation
Narrated Anas bin Malik: When the number of Muslims increased they discussed the question as to how to know the time for the prayer by some familiar means. Some suggested that a fire be lit (at the time of the prayer) and others put forward the proposal to ring the bell. Bilal was ordered to pronounce the wording of Adhan twice and of the Iqama once only
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আনাস ইবনু মালিক (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন; মুসলিমগণের সংখ্যা বৃদ্ধি পেলে তাঁরা সালাতের সময়ের জন্য এমন কোন সংকেত নির্ধারণ করার প্রস্তাব দিলেন, যার সাহায্যে সালাতের সময় উপস্থিত এ কথা বুঝা যায়। কেউ কেউ বললেন, আগুন জ্বালানো হোক, কিংবা ঘণ্টা বাজানো হোক। তখন বিলাল (রাযি.)-কে আযানের শব্দগুলো দু’ দু’বার এবং ইকামাতের শব্দগুলো বেজোড় বলার নির্দেশ দেয়া হলো। (৬০৩) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৫৭১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
