English narration

Narrated by وهب بن وهب السوائي

Abu Juhaifah reported: I came to the prophet ﷺ at Makkah; he was sitting in a tent made of leather. Then Bilal came out and called to prayer. I looked at his mouth following him this side and that side (i. e., right and left). Later at his Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out clad in a red suit, i. e, wearing the sheets of the Yemen, of the Qatri design. The version narrated by Musa has the word; “I saw Bilal going towards al-Abtah”. He then made a call to prayer. When he reached the words “ come to prayer, come to salvation”. He turned his neck right and left, respectively; he did not turn himself (with his whole body). He then entered (his house) and came out with a lancet. The narrator then reported the rest of the tradition.
