In some Sunni accounts, it is claimed that Adhan is man-made and not based on divine revelation. According to these reports, the Muslims first had various ways to call for prayer - and it was [['Umar]] who suggested that someone should be designated to announce the prayer time. [[The Prophet (s)]] then appointed [[Bilal b. Rabah|Bilal]] for this task. | In some Sunni accounts, it is claimed that Adhan is man-made and not based on divine revelation.

According to other Sunni narrations, the Prophet (s) suggested that the Muslims, like the [[People of the Book]], should use a horn or a bell to call for prayer. Then, [['Abd Allah b. Zayd b. 'Abd Rabbih]] had a dream in which the Adhan was revealed to him. The Prophet (s) recognized it as a true dream and ordered him to teach the phrases to Bilal.
