Question:
He has another section on this topic regarding the ruling on saying "Prayer is better than sleep" in the adhan. Did it appear in the dream of 'Abdullah ibn Zayd?

Answer:
Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded it. This is called al-thawib, because people are usually asleep at the end of the night, so this phrase is used to encourage them to wake up. Does it have a specific occasion in this adhan? Yes.
