First Mu’adhdhin of Islam

Ibn Isḥāq reports:

When the Prophet was firmly settled in Madīnah and his brethren the Muhājirūn (Emigrants) were gathered to him and the affairs of the Anṣār (Helpers) were arranged, Islam became firmly established. Prayer was instituted, the alms tax and fasting were prescribed, legal punishments fixed, the forbidden and the permitted prescribed, and Islam took up its abode with them. It was this clan of Anṣār (Helpers) who “have taken up their abode (in the city of the Prophet) and in the faith.”14 When the Prophet first came, the people gathered to him for prayer at the appointed times without being summoned. At first the Prophet thought of using a trumpet like that of the Jews who used it to summon to prayer. Afterwards he disliked the idea and ordered a clapper to be made, so it was duly fashioned to be beaten when the Muslims should pray.
