For those who want to watch me explaining it:
Here the two Rafidi clowns, the Park Runner and his brother the Tweezer using the same folklore belief (biLaL strUgGLed wiTh aRaBic/pRonuNciaTioN) and my response:

A famous (yet unauthentic) narration that is widely circulated (especially championed by Rafidah and Qadyanis to justify the failure of their leaders who haven't mastered basic Tajwid) is:
"The 'sin' (س) of Bilal is 'shin' (ش) in the hearing of God."
"The 'sin' (س) of Bilal is 'shin' (ش) in the hearing of God."
The people of knowledge have clarified that this (if knowingly attributed to Bilal) is nothing but an insult to him, for the following reasons:
1. The narration (him struggling with basic Arabic letters!) is a fabrication, the scholars say it has no basis at all...

...rather, it is what laymen (and Jahils like Rawafid) repeat.
2. In sahih reports, Sahaba narrated how Bilal said the Adhan (without Rafidi nonsense/Bid'ah like Aliyun-Waliyullah etc.) in the most eloquent manner, no mention of any struggling or mistakes at all!

3. Imam Bukhari narrates how Bilal was an eloquent Arabic speaker, a master of the language who recited poems (in perfect Arabic of the Quraish) that amazed the people of his time!
4. Unfortunately, this misconception about Bilal stems of ignorance about the close historical ties between Arabia and the lands of the Habashah. Many assume that Bilal was some immigrant in Makkah, an outsider, focusing on his skin colour only!
As a history student I'll try to explain: The Habashah have ancient historical ties with Arabs, even before Islam, in fact, the Habashah (Axumite kingdom) once ruled Yemen, I'm NOT saying they are Arabs, however, their ties were incredibly strong...
..& even DNA tests have proven that they share blood with Yemenis. Some historians even claim that the Habasha originate from southern Yemen & migrated 2 what is known as Abyssinia (Habasha lands of modern day Ethiopia/Eritrae), whatever that case, nobody can deny the close ties.
In fact, many Sahabah had Habashi blood (it's cringy when Muslims mention always Bilal when championing blackness in Islam, like a token, ignorant of dozens of other African Sahabah)...
Omar's grandmother was Habashiyyah, and many more Sahabah were mixed with Habashah (and certainly didn't look like pale skinned Persians as they are portrayed in the modern Arab world...).
Bilal (ra) and other Habasha (or mixed) Sahabah were more Arab and better in Arabic than most modern day Arabs, he was a son of Makkah, born there, Arabic was his mother tongue...
Many of my Eritrean Muslim friends speak Arabic at home, it's almost as standard to them as is Tigrinya/Tigre (Habashah languages).
Heck, even many Christian Ehtiopians & Eritreans speak Arabic (way better than Rafidi Ayatullats), this is because of close historical ties and proximity to Arabia, both languages are semite, they are related (Amharic in Ethiopia too).
In a nutshell:
Bilal the Habashi was a master of Arabic eloquency, a native Makkan, (miss)using him as a token for championing blackness in Islam or worse, justifying ones/others failure (like learning basics such as Tajwid) is nothing but an insult to him.

And finally: May Allah be pleased with Bilal and Abu Bakr who freed him (Bilal was thankful till his last breath for that), and may Allah bless the beautiful (inside & outside) Habasha people, a people of ancient culture, the semites of East Africa.
