Bilal (r.a) Recalls The Adhaan In Madinah
Bilal (r.a) was always to remain close to the Messenger of Allaah (saw), at home and abroad to call out the adhaan for salaah. After the Messenger (saw)’s death, it became very hard for him to continue his stay in Madinah where he would miss him at every step and in every corner. He therefore left Madinah and decided to pass the rest of his life striving in the path of Allaah.
Once he beheld the Prophet (saw) in his dream saying to him “Oh Bilal, how come you never visit me?” No soner did he get up from his sleep, did he set out for Madinah.
On reaching there, Hassan and Hussain (r.a) (the prophet (saw)’s grandsons) requested him to call out the adhaan. He could not refuse them, for they were very dear to him. But as soon as the adhaan was called, the people of Madinah cried openly out of their anguish at the memory of the happy old days of the Messenger (saw)’s time. Even the women came out of their houses weeping.
Bilal left Madinah again after a few days and died in Damascus in 20AH
