It is narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Layla that he said: Our companions among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) narrated that 'Abdullah ibn Zayd Al-Ansari came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I saw in a dream a man standing, wearing two green garments, on a wall. He called the Adhan twice and the Iqamah twice, then sat for a while." Bilal heard this, stood up, and called the Adhan twice and the Iqamah twice, then sat for a while. [Narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah and Abu Ash-Shaikh, Al-Bayhaqi also narrated something similar in his Sunan from Waki']
The scholars said: "The chain of narrators of this hadith consists of reliable narrators, and it is connected according to the methodology of the majority regarding the uprightness of the Companions. The fact that some of their names are unknown does not harm the narration."

ف: اس حدیث میں اذان اور اقامت کے بعد بیٹھنے کا جو ذکر ہے اس سے اس بات کا اشارہ مقصود ہے کہ اذان اور اقامت ختم ہوگئی، نیز اذان اور اقامت کے بعد بیٹھنے سے یہ وضاحت بھی مقصود ہے کہ اذان اور اقامت کھڑے ہو کر کہنا مستحب ہے چنانچہ ”تنویر الابصار“ میں لکھا ہے کہ بیٹھے ہوئے اذان اور اقامت کہنا مکروہ ہے۔12
