Abu Hurairah reported: Another version of the above tradition adds: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Go away from this place of yours where inadvertence took hold of you. He then commanded Bilal who called for prayer and announced that the prayer in congregation was ready (i. e. he uttered the iqamah) and he observed prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Malik, Sufyan bin Uyainah, al-Awzai, and Abd al-Razzaq from Mamar and Ibn Ishaq, none of them made a mention of the call for prayer (adman) in this version of the tradition narrated by al-Zuhri, and none of them attribute (this tradition) to him except al-Awzai and Aban al-'Attar on the authority of Mamar.

I said: 'This is a rider; these are two riders; and these are three' until we became seven. He then said: Guard for us our prayer, i. e. the Fajr prayer. But sleep dominated them and none could awaken them except the heat of the sun. They stood up and drove away a little. Then they got down (from their mounts) and performed ablution. Bilal called for prayer and they offered two rak'ahs of (Sunnah) of Fajr and then offered the Fajr prayer and mounted (their mounts). Some of them said to others: We showed negligence in prayer. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: There is no negligence in sleep. The negligence is in wakefulness. If any of you forget saying prayer, he should offer it when he remembers it and next day (he should say it) at its proper time.

He then narrated the same story, saying Nothing awakened us except the rising sun. We stoop up in bewilderment, for our prayer. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Wait a little, wait a little. When the sun rose high, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: Those who sued to observer the two rak'ahs of Fajr prayer (sunnah prayer before obligatory prayer) should observe them. Then those who used to observe and those who would not observe stood up and said prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم commanded to call for prayer; the call for prayer was made accordingly. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood and led us in prayer. When he turned away (from the prayer) he said: We thank Allah for the fact that we were not engaged in any wordily affairs which detained us from our prayer. Instead our souls were in the hands of Allah. He released them whenever He wished. If any one of you gets morning prayer tomorrow at its proper time, he should offer a similar prayer as an atonement.

Stand up and call for prayer. They (the Companions) stood and performed ablution. When the sun rose high, the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم stood and led the people in prayer.
