[Machine] "When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was taken on the journey to the heavens, he heard a rustling sound. He asked, 'O Jibril, what is this rustling sound?' Jibril replied, 'This is Bilal.' Abu Bakr said, 'I wish I could have been born from Bilal's mother, and Bilal from my father, and that I could have been like Bilal.'"  

الطبراني:١٨٦٥٧حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ثنا هَوْبَرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ثنا وَحْشِيُّ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ سَمِعَ خَشْخَشَةً فَقَالَ يَا جِبْرِيلُ مَا هَذِهِ الْخَشْخَشَةُ؟ قَالَ هَذَا بِلَالٌ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَيْتَ أُمَّ بِلَالٍ وَلَدَتْنِي وَأَبُو بِلَالٍ وَأَنَا مِثْلُ بِلَالٍ
