Sahih Muslim
كتاب الصلاة
The Book of Prayers
" يَا بِلاَلُ قُمْ فَنَادِ بِالصَّلاَةِ "
When the Muslims came to Medina, they gathered and sought to know the time of prayer but no one summoned them. One day they discussed the matter, and some of them said: Use something like the bell of the Christians and some of them said: Use horn like that of the Jews. Umar said: Why may not a be appointed who should call (people) to prayer? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: O Bilal, get up and summon (the people) to prayer.
