Hazrat Bilal's (ra) Nostalgic Azan in Jerusalem
On this occasion, an extraordinary incident took place which was regarding the Azan of Hazrat Bilal (ra) which has been narrated before as well. After the demise of the Holy Prophet (sa), Hazrat Bilal (ra) stopped calling the Azan. During one occasion, when the time for prayer approached, the people repeatedly requested Hazrat Umar (ra) to instruct Hazrat Bilal (ra) to call the Azan. On the instructions of Hazrat Umar (ra), Hazrat Bilal (ra) called the Azan and everyone was overcome with emotion. People began to weep and from among them, Hazrat Umar (ra) wept the most because the Azan reminded him of Holy Prophet’s (sa) time.
