كَانَ طُولُ حَائِطِ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَامَةً فَكَانَ يَقُولُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِبِلَالٍ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْوَقْتُ يَا بِلَالُ اعْلُ فَوْقَ الْجِدَارِ وَ ارْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ بِالْأَذَانِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِالْأَذَانِ رِيحاً تَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِذَا سَمِعُوا الْأَذَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا هَذِهِ أَصْوَاتُ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِتَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِأُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammd, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The height of the wall of Masjid of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> was of one stature. So he<sup>saww</sup> was saying to Bilal: ‘When the time comes, O Bilal, climb above the wall and raise your voice with the <span class="iTxt">Azān</span>, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Allocated a wind with the <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> raising it to the sky, and that the Angels, when they are hearing the <span class="iTxt">Azān</span> from the inhabitants of the earth, they are saying: ‘Voices of the community of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> (affirming) the Oneness of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’, and they are seeking Forgiveness for the community of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> until they are free from that <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>’.
