Sahih al-Bukhari 633 (Book 10, Hadith 30) #610
Announcing Prayer with a Spear

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Bilal informing the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) of prayer and then planting a spear in front of him to announce the Iqama.

Narrated 'Aun bin Abi Juhaifa: My father said, "I saw Allah's Messenger at a place called Al-Abtah. Bilal came and informed him about the prayer and then came out with a short spear (or stick) and planted it in front of Allah's Messenger at Al-Abtah and pronounced the Iqama".
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعُمَيْسِ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِالأَبْطَحِ فَجَاءَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِلاَلٌ بِالْعَنَزَةِ حَتَّى رَكَزَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِالأَبْطَحِ وَأَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Bilal, one of the companions of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, informing him that it was time for prayer. He then took a short spear or stick and planted it in front of the Prophet ﷺ at a place called Al-Abtah as an announcement for people to gather for prayer. This shows us how important it is to be punctual when it comes to fulfilling our religious obligations such as praying on time. It also teaches us that we should be mindful and respectful when performing religious duties, even if they are small tasks like announcing prayer with a spear or stick. We should also strive to make sure that everyone around us has access to information regarding religious obligations so they can fulfill them too.
