Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had two Mu'adhdhin: Bilal and Ibn Umm Maktum (May Allah be pleased with them). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bilal proclaims Adhan [call to Salat (prayer)] at fag end of night, so eat and drink till Ibn Umm Maktum pronounces Adhan."
