EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Bilal, a companion of Prophet Muhammad, who was known for his beautiful voice when calling the adhan or call to prayer. He would wait until he saw that the prophet had come out of his house before pronouncing the iqama, which is a second call to prayer that signals it's time to start praying. This hadith teaches us about being patient and waiting for an appropriate time before taking action as well as respecting authority figures such as prophets and leaders in our lives. It also shows us how important it is to be punctual in our religious duties such as prayer so we can stay connected with God at all times.
