The Chapters
on the Adhan and the Sunnah Regarding it from Sunan Ibn Majah
706 It was
narrated from Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah bin Zaid that his father said that the
Messenger of Allah (saw) was thinking of a horn, and he commanded that a bell
be made and it was done. Then ‘Abdullah bin Zaid had a dream. He said: “I saw a
man wearing two green garments, carrying a bell. I said to him, ‘O slave of
Allah, will you sell the bell?’ He said; ‘What will you do with it?’ I said, ‘I
will call (the people) to prayer.’ He said, ‘Shall I not tell you of something
better than that?’ I said, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘Say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, ash-hadu an
la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna
Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya ‘alas-salah, Hayya ‘alas-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah,
Hayya ‘alal-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah (Allah is the
Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most
Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I
bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; Come to the prayer, Come to the prayer; Come to the
prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most
Great, none has the right to be worshipped but Allah).” ‘Abdullah bin Zaid went
out and came to the Messenger of Allah (saw), and told him what he had seen. He
said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, I saw a man wearing two green garments carrying a
bell,” and he told him the story. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Your
companion has had a dream. Go out with Bilal to the mosque and teach it to him,
for he has a louder voice than you.” I (‘Abdullah) went out with Bilal to the
mosque, and I started teaching him the words and he was calling them out. ‘Umar
bin Al-Khattab heard the voice and came out saying: “O Messenger of Allah! By
Allah, I saw the same (dream) as him.” (Hasan)
Abu ‘Ubaid said: “Abu Bakr Al-Hakami told me that
‘Abdullah bin Zaid Al-Ansari said concerning that:
‘I praise Allah, the Possessor of majesty and honour,
A great deal of praise for the Adhan.
Since the news of it came to me from Allah,
So due to it, I was honoured by the information.
During the three nights.
Each of which increased me in honour.’”
707 It was
narrated from Salam, from his father, that the Prophet (saw) consulted the
people as to how he could call them to the prayer. They suggested a horn, but
he disliked that because of the Jews (because the Jews used a horn). Then they
suggested a bell but he disliked that because of the Christians (because the
Christians used a bell). Then that night the call to the prayer was shown in a
dream to a man from among the Ansar whose name was ‘Abdullah bin Zaid, and to
‘Umar bin Khattab. The Ansari man came to the Messenger of Allah (saw) at
night, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded Bilal to give the call to the
prayer. (Da’if)
Zuhri said: “Bilal added the phrase “As-salatu khairum
minan-nawm (the prayer is better than sleep)” to the call for the morning
prayer, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) approved of that.” ‘Umar said: “O
Messenger of Allah, I saw the same as he did, but he beat me to it.”
708 Ibn Juraij
narrated: “Abdul-‘Aziz bin ‘Abdul-Malik bin Abu Mahdhurah narrated from
‘Abdullah bin Muhairiz who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah bin
Mi’yar that when he was preparing him to travel to Sham, he said: ‘O my uncle,
I am going out to Sham, and I will be asked how you started the Adhan.’ So he
informed me that. Abu Mahdhurah said: ‘I went out with a group of people, and
we were somewhere on the road, when the Mu’adh-dhin of the Messenger of Allah
(saw) gave the call to prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (saw).
We heard the voice of the Mu’adh-dhin, and we were shunning it (the Adhan), so
we started yelling, imitating it and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah (saw)
heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to sit in front of him. He
said: ‘Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?’ The people all pointed to
me, and they were all telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me
there and said to me: ‘Stand up and give the call to prayer.’ I stood up and
there was nothing more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah (saw) and what
he was telling me to do. I stood up in front of the Messenger of Allah (saw)
and the Messenger of Allah (saw) himself taught me the call. He said: “Say:
‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ash-hadu an la ilaha
illallah, ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah,
Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most
Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great; I bear witness that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).’” Then he
said: “Raise your voice (and say). Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, ash-hadu an
la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna
Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya ‘alas-salah, Hayya ‘alas-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah,
Hayya ‘alal-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah (; I bear
witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that
none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is
the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah;
Come to the prayer, Come to the prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the
prosperity; Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah).’” Then he called me when I had finished
saying the Adhan, and gave me a small bag in which there was some silver.’ Then
he put his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face,
then over his chest, and over his heart, until the hand of the Messenger of
Allah (saw) reached his navel. Then the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘May
Allah bless you and send blessings upon you.’ I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, do
you command me to give the call to prayer in Makkah? He said: ‘Yes, I command
you (to do so).’ Then all the hatred I had felt towards the Messenger of Allah
disappeared, and was replaced with love for the Messenger of Allah (saw). I
came to ‘Attab bin Asid, the governor of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in
Makkah, and gave the call to prayer with him by command of the Messenger of
Allah (saw).” (Sahih)
He (‘Abdul-‘Aziz) said: “Someone who met Abu Mahdhurah
told me the same as ‘Abdullah bin Muhairiz told me.”
709 It was
narrated that Abu Mahdhurah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) taught me the
Adhan with nineteen phrases and the Iqamah with seventeen. The Adhan is: Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah,
ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu
anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; , Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, ash-hadu an la
ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah; Hayya ‘alas-salah, Hayya ‘alas-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah, Hayya
‘alal-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah (Allah is the Most
Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most
Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I
bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but
Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I

Iqamah is seventeen phrases: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; ash-hadu
anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya
‘alas-salah, Hayya ‘alas-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah, Hayya ‘alal-falah; qad-qamais-salah,
Qad qamatis-salah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (Allah is the
Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most
Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear
witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; ; Come to the prayer, Come to the prayer; Come to the
prosperity, Come to the prosperity; the prayer is about to begin, the prayer is
about to begin; Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great; none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah).” (Sahih)

ears.” (Hasan)

narrated that Bilal came to the Prophet (saw) to call him for the Fajr prayer,
and was told: “He is sleeping.” He said: “As-salatu khairum minan-nawm,

better than sleep). These words were approved of in the Adhan for the Fajr, and
that is how it remained. (Da’if)
717 It was
narrated that Ziyad bin Harith As-Suda’i said: “I was with the Messenger of
Allah (saw) on a journey, and he commanded me to call the Adhan. Bilal wanted

rasuluhu, radaytu Billahi rabban wa bil-Islami dinan wa bi Muhammadin nabiyyan (And
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with

Prophet),’ his sins will be forgiven to him.” (Sahih)

(O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer to be offered, grant

of Allah (saw) say: ‘No jinn, human, tree or rock will hear it, but it will
bear witness for you.’” (Sahih)
724 It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) himself
say: ‘The Mu’adh-dhin’s sins will be forgiven as far as his voice reaches, and

attends the prayer, twenty-five Hasanat (good deeds) will be recorded, and it
will be an expiation (for sins committed) between them (the two prayer).’”
