Sahih Muslim 606 (Book 5, Hadith 204) #8518
Waiting for the Prophet's Arrival

SUMMARY: Bilal called for prayer when the sun was setting, but waited to pronounce Iqama until the Prophet arrived.

Jabir b. Samura reported: Bilal summoned to prayer as the sun declined but did not pronounce Iqama till the Messenger of Allah came out and the Iqama was pronounced on seeing him.
وَحَدَّثَنِي سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ كَانَ بِلاَلٌ يُؤَذِّنُ إِذَا دَحَضَتْ فَلاَ يُقِيمُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ النَّبِيُّ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ أَقَامَ الصَّلاَةَ حِينَ يَرَاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about Bilal, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. He was responsible for calling people to prayer and he would do this by saying “Allahu Akbar” four times. In this hadith, it is reported that Bilal called out for prayer as soon as the sun began to decline but he did not pronounce Iqama until he saw the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ arrive. This shows us how important it was to wait for his arrival before beginning any religious activity and how much respect we should have towards him and his teachings. It also teaches us that we should be punctual in our religious duties and not delay them unnecessarily or without a valid reason.
