for he has a more resonant voice than you." So I stood with Bilal and began to dictate it to him, and he would call the Adhan with it. Umar ibn al-Khattab heard that while he was in his house, so he came out dragging his cloak, saying: "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, I have seen the like of what he saw." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "To Allah belongs all praise." Reported by al-Athram and Abu Dawud (42), and al-Tirmidhi mentioned the end of it with this chain of narration (43) and said: It is a hasan sahih (good and authentic) hadith.
