Muezzins are given great status by Allah. A muezzin who works for Allah without payment is even higher. Muezzins are people who have inherited the position of Prophets ﷺ through calling. The call to prayer is included in the act of enjoining the good and forbidding the bad, which increases the reward of the muezzins. Hussain Bin Ali reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said {The Muezzins of the Last Judgment will be raised with the Prophets and the truthful and the martyrs}. On the other hand, according to some hadiths, muezzins will have long necks on that Day of Judgment. A number of traditions have been revealed about muezzins. 

Asad al-Gaba, a book on the history of the Sahaba, explains that the call to prayer was included as part of Sharia law in the first year of Hijra. How the story is told in many different records, it is not that difficult to put them all together and make a theme. A dream was seen by some of the Companions when the Prophet and his Companions were worried about how to call people to prayer. Imam al-Haramein Nihaya and Imam al-Ghazali also said that eleven Companions saw the dream, including Abdullah bin Zayd and Omar Ibn al-Khattab. The dream in brief is that when Abdullaah was preparing to leave with something like Negarit in his dream, a person whose identity he did not know would say to them what are you going to do. Of course, it should not be forgotten that the words of Azan were taught by the Messenger himself. Then Abdullah told them about their dreams to the Prophet ﷺ. They tell him that Bilal has a better voice than you, so teach him. #Abdullah was teaching Bilal to them, Umar heard his voice and came running shaking their hands and saying {By Allah, what you have seen, I have also seen it}. When this was told to the Prophet ﷺ { Alhamdulillah now But they said, "Be firm." And Bilal made the first call to prayer.

Sayyiduna Bilal thereafter served as Muezzins of the Prophet ﷺ for life. According to Zayd bin Al-Arqam, the #Messenger of Allah ﷺ said {The best person is Bilal, and he is the chief of the muezzins, and he does not follow him except the muezzins, and the muezzins have the longest necks of the Last Judgment}.

Another thing that should be noted and noted is that the rumor that Sayyiduna and Bilal used to make adhan without entering time, and when they did adhan, they used to say #Ashhadu instead of #Atahadu is baseless and a complete lie. This issue is also accusing the Prophet ﷺ of choosing a person who does not speak Arabic properly for the call to prayer. Bilal was a linguist who was very proficient in Arabic as he grew up in Mecca.

 

        Bilal's personality

Many Companions and some Tabi'een who met him reported about Sayyiduna Bilal's appearance, and all the reporters described their position when they met him. If we look at two of them, a person who saw Sayyedoo and Bilal, when talking about their appearance, says: {Bilal is a man who is blessed with grace. Their body is slim and their height is tall. Their lips and nose are big. Their hair is thick and thick, but their beards are thin. } The other Sayyiduna and Bilal who saw them after their old age adds that they are broad-shouldered men with gray hair and beards who wear white and black clothes.

Although it is interesting to talk about the personal characteristics of Sayyed and Bilal and it is possible to embellish it with a wide analysis, I am forced to mention only the core. 

Sayyiduna Bilal was a proven man who obeyed his masters even before they were freed from the yoke of slavery. They are the ones who proved that no one is stronger than a rock. 

Bilal Mugesa was a Mutawadeem who did not swear and was very low-key. His friend Ibn Merahin said that when people came to Bilal and enumerated his status and good blessings, they would say, "Leave me alone, I am just an ordinary Habesha who was a slave yesterday." 

On the other hand, Bilal was honest and never lied. According to the records named Tarikh al-Madinah and Asad al-Gaba, in the same words, Syed Bilal's wife Akurfa, the Prophet ﷺ, came with her and said to Bilal, the Prophet said, "If you have faith, he is a true man who does not lie." They testified to their truthfulness. 

Bilal's #reliability is also a characteristic of his. It has been observed many times that great hadith scholars like Bukhari abandoned what the Companions like Fadl_bin_Abbas said and justified Bilal's superiority. 

Sayyiduna Bilal is one of those sons who are called Nujaba' and are said to bear the burden of creation and care for the world while making dua for the Ummah. Ali said in this matter {Every Prophet was given 7 nujabahs to live with, and our Prophet ﷺ had 14 of them, me, my two sons Hasan and Hussain, the lion Hamza, the flying Jaafar, Ubaydah bin Harisa, Zayd bin Harisa, Bilal, Salman, Amar, Miqdad, Huzaifa and bin We have Masoud.

Bilal is a great person who has received many compliments from all directions. Even the praises reported from the Prophet ﷺ are more numerous than those narrated by others. This is how an ordinary person who was a slave yesterday became great following the great Prophet ﷺ. And I wanted to talk a little bit about them.

As reported by Zayd Ibnul Arqam, the doctor said, "Bilal is the best person and he is the chief of the muezzins."

According to Siyar Ilam An Nublai, some people saw Bilal as superior to Abu Bakr and thought that Bilal was upset (how can they compare me with Abu Bakr, I am one of Abu Bakr's descendants).

Ali bin Abi Talib said, "There are five predecessors who rejected Islam first: I am the first of Arabs, Salman is the first of Persia, Suhaib is the first of Rome, Bilal is the first of Habsha, Khabab is the first of Nebat."

Imam At-Toberani narrated from Abu Umama that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said (I will enter Paradise before the Arabs, Suhaib will enter Paradise before the Romans, Bilal will enter Paradise before the Abyssinians, and Salman will enter Paradise before the Persians).

Ibn Abbas narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not disturb the black people because the three chiefs of Paradise are black, the sage Luqman, the Najashi and the muezzin Bilal."

In another hadith, Ibn Abbas said (The Prophet saw a beautiful place in Paradise and asked Jibreel whose it was, and he replied that it belonged to Bilal. After returning to earth, Bilal was released and said that he saw such a thing in Paradise).

In the hadith reported by Muhammad bin Munkadir, it is mentioned that #the Prophet ﷺ heard the previous quote from him in heaven and asked Jibreel who it was, and he replied that it was Bilal, the muezzin.

According to Ali bin Abi Talib, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "He will go to Paradise on a camel of the Last Judgment."

And even though my friends Bilal is not one of the ten messengers, he is the leader of the Abyssinians, muezzins, and black people who were confirmed by the Messenger ﷺ to be the ruler of Paradise. The death of the Prophet ﷺ
