SRC-SIYAR-BL-MAD-001

Illness after arrival in Madinah

The move to Madinah brought hardship as well as welcome. In a report from Aishah preserved in Siyar, Bilal and Abu Bakr fell ill after their arrival.

حمل الانتقال إلى المدينة مشقة إلى جانب الترحيب. ففي خبر عن عائشة أورده الذهبي، أصيب بلال وأبو بكر بالوعك بعد القدوم.

An attributed report in the biography; a precise date is not supplied here.

SRC-SIYAR-BL-SHAM-002

Reports of later life in al-Sham

Siyar preserves reports that Bilal later lived in al-Sham. Accounts of his departure and a later call to prayer carry transmission gaps, so their details remain open for review.

أورد الذهبي أخبارا عن إقامة بلال لاحقا في الشام. وفي أسانيد أخبار رحيله وأذان لاحق انقطاع، لذلك تبقى تفاصيلها موضع مراجعة.

The cited edition flags transmission gaps in these reports.

SRC-SIYAR-BL-DEATH-003

Death and burial variants

Bilal’s story continues beyond his first call to prayer in Madinah. Later biographical reports place the close of his life in al-Sham, while differing over the year of his death and where he was buried.

تتجاوز سيرة بلال أذانه الأول في المدينة. وتجعل أخبار التراجم خاتمة حياته في الشام، مع اختلافها في سنة وفاته وموضع دفنه.

Reports differ over the year and burial location; no single variant is selected.
