The Book of
the Adhan (The Call to Prayer) from Sunan An-Nasa’i
627 Nafi’
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to say: “When the Muslims arrived in
Al-Madinah they used to gather and try to figure out the time for prayer, and
no one gave the call to prayer. One day they spoke about that; some of them
said: ‘Let us use a bell* like the Christians do;’ other said, ‘No, a horn like
the Jews have.’ ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: ‘Why don’t you send
a man to announce the time of prayer?’ The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘O
Bilal, get up and give the call to prayer.’” (Sahih)
*An-Naqus: “It is an instrument made of copper or other
than that, which is struck to ring.” Hadi As-Sari by Ibn Hajar. That is, a
“bell”. Some of them – like An-Nawawi in his commentary on Muslim – followed
the definition given by Ibn Al-Athir in An-Nihayah; that it is a long piece of
wood which was struck by a smaller piece of wood.
628 It was
narrated that Anas said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded Bilal to say
the phrases of the Adhan twice and the phrases of the Iqamah once.” (Sahih)
629 It was
narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: “At the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw) the
phrases of the Adhan were said twice and the phrases of the Iqamah were said
once, except that you should say: ‘Qad Qamatis-Salah, Qad Qamatis-Salah (prayer
is about to begin, prayer is about to begin).’” (Sahih)
630 It was
narrated from Abu Mahdhurah that the Prophet (saw) sat him down and taught him
the Adhan letter by letter. (One of the narrators) Ibrahim said: “It is like
this Adhan of ours.” I said:* “Recite it to me.” He said: “Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest), Ashhadu an la ilaha
illallah (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah) –
twice, Ashhadu anna Muhammdan Rasulullah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah) – twice. Then he said in a lower voice which those around
him could hear: Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah (I bear witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah) – twice, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (I
bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah) – twice, Haya ‘ala
as-salah (come to prayer) – twice, Hayya ‘alal-falah (come to prosperity) –
twice, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah (Allah is the Greatest,
Allah is the Greatest, there is none worthy of worship except Allah). (Hasan)
Bishir bin Mu’adh who heard it from Ibrahim, and from
whom An-Nasa’i is reporting it, is the one who is asking for the Adhan to be
recited to him.
631 It was
narrated from Abu Mahdhurah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) taught him the
Adhan with nineteen phrases and the Iqamah with seventeen phrases, then Abu
Mahdhurah counted them as nineteen and seventeen. (Sahih)
632 It was
narrated that Abu Mahdhurah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) taught me the
Adhan and said: ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar;
Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna
Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the
Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest;
I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah).’ Then he repeated it and said: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha
illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu
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 there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; Come to prosperity, come to
prosperity; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is none worthy of
worship except Allah).’” (Sahih)
633 ‘Abdul-‘Aziz
bin ‘Abdul-Malik bin Abi Mahdhurah narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Muhairiz – who
was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah until he prepared him to go to
Ash-Sham – informed him: he said: “I said to Abu Mahdhurah: ‘I am going to
Ash-Sham and I am afraid that I will be asked about how you say the Adhan.’” He
told me that Abu Mahdhurah said to him: “I went out with a group of people and
we were somewhere on the road to Hunain when the Messenger of Allah (saw) was
coming back from Hunain. The Messenger of Allah (saw) met us somewhere on the
road, and the Mu’adhdhin of the Messenger of Allah (saw) called the Adhan for
the prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (saw). We heard the voice
of the Mu’adhdhin, and we were careless about 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 stand 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 telling the truth. He sent them all away, but he kept me there and said to
me: ‘Stand up and call the Adhan for the prayer.’ I stood up and the Messenger
of Allah (saw) taught me the Adhan himself. He said: ‘Say: Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la
ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest,
Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship
except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah;
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).’ Then he said: ‘Then repeat and say in a
loud voice: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah;
Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu 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 there is none
worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of
worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I
bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to
prayer; Come to prosperity, come to prosperity; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is
the Greatest; there is none worthy of worship except Allah).’ Then he called me
when I had finished saying the Adhan, and he gave me a bundle in which there
was some silver. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, let me be the one doing the
Adhan in Makkah.’ He said: ‘I command you to do so.’ Then I came to ‘Attab bin
Asid who was the governor of the Messenger of Allah (saw) in Makkah, and I
called the Adhan for prayer with him upon the orders of the Messenger of Allah
(saw).” (Hasan)
634 It was
narrated that Abu Mahdhurah said: “When the Messenger of Allah (saw) left
Hunain, I was the tenth of a group of ten of the people of Makkah who were
trying to catch up with them. We heard them calling the Adhan for the prayer
and we started to repeat the Adhan, mocking them. The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: ‘I heard among these people the Adhan of one who has a beautiful voice.’
He sent for us, and we recited the Adhan one by one, and I was the last of
them. When I said the Adhan he said: ‘Come here.’ He sat me down in front of
him and rubbed my forelock and blessed me three times, then he said: ‘Go and
give the Adhan at the Sacred House.’ I said: ‘How, O Messenger of Allah?’
Hetaught me as you say the Adhan now: ‘Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha
illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu
anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya
‘alas-salah, Hayya ‘alas-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah, Hayya ‘alal-falah; as-salatu
khairun min an-nawm; as-salatu khairun min an-nawm (Allah is the Greatest,
Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship except 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 there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; Come to prosperity, come to
prosperity; prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep)’ – in the
first (Adhan) for As-Subh (Fajr). And he taught me the Iqamah, saying each
phrase twice: ‘allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, (Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar),
Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna
Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya ‘alas-salah,
Hayya ‘alas-salah; Hayya ‘alal-falah, Hayya ‘alal-falah; qad qamatis-salah, qad
qamatis-salah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (Allah is the
Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the
Greatest); I bear witness that there is
none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy
of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of
Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer,
come to prayer; Come to prosperity, come to prosperity; the prayer is about to
begin, the prayer is about to begin; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the
Greatest; there is none worthy of worship except Allah).” (One of the narrators)
Ibn Juraij said: “Uthman narrated this whole report to me from his father and
from Umm ‘Abdul-Malik bin Abi Mahdhurah, and (said that) they heard that from
Abu Mahdhurah. (Hasan)
635 It was
narrated that Malik bin Huwairith said: “I came to the Prophet (saw) with a
cousin of mine” – on another occasion he said: “with a Companion of mine” –
“and he said: ‘When the two of you travel, call the Adhan and the Iqamah, and
let the older of you lead the prayer.’” (Sahih)
636 It was
narrated that Malik bin Al-Huwairith said: “We came to the Messenger of Allah
(saw) and we were young men close in age. He let us stay with him for twenty
days. The Messenger of Allah (saw) was merciful and compassionate, and he
thought that we were missing our families; he asked us about those whom we had
left behind of our families, so we told him, and he said: ‘Go back to your
families, stay with them and teach them. Tell them when the time for prayer
comes; let one of you call the Adhan and let the oldest of you lead the prayer.’”
(Sahih)
637 It was
narrated from Ayyub from Abu Qilabah, from ‘Amr bin Salamah: “Abu Qilabah said
to me (Ayyub): He (‘Amr) is still alive, do you want to meet him?” I met him
and asked him, and he said: “When Makkah was conquered, all the people hastened
to announce their Islam. My father went to announce the Islam of the people of
our village, and when he came back we went to see him and he said: ‘By Allah, I
have indeed come to you from the Messenger of Allah (saw).’ He said: ‘Pray such
and such a prayer at such and such a time, pray such and such a prayer at such
and such a time. When the time for prayer comes let one of you call the Adhan
and let the one who knows the most Qur’an lead the prayer.’” (Sahih)
638 It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Bilal calls
the Adhan during the night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls (the
Adhan).” (Sahih)
639 It was
narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Prophet (saw) said: “Bilal calls
the Adhan during the night, so eat and drink until you hear Ibn Umm Maktum
calling the Adhan.” (Sahih)
640 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Bilal calls
the Adhan during the night, so eat and drink until Ibn Umm Maktum calls the
Adhan.” She said: “And there was no more between them than the time it takes
for one to come down and the other to go up.” (Sahih)
641 It was
narrated from Khubaib bin ‘Abdur-Rahman that his paternal aunt Unaisah said:
“The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘When Ibn Umm Maktum calls the Adhan, eat
and drink, and when Bilal calls the Adhan, do not eat or drink.’” (Sahih)
642 It was
narrated from Ibn Mas’ud that the Prophet (saw) said: “Bilal calls the Adhan
during the night to wake those who are sleeping and so that those who are
praying Qiyam can return.* Not to say it is like this.” The break of dawn is
not like this.**
*Meaning, to finish. Ash-Shawkani said: “To return to
sleeping or return to sitting from praying” Nail Al-Awtar.
**Indicating with an up and down motion. The true dawn is
from right to left.
643 It was
narrated from Anas that someone asked the Messenger of Allah (saw) about the
time of Subh. The Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded Bilal to call the Adhan
when dawn broke, then the next day he delayed Fajr until it was very light,
then he told him to call the Adhan and he prayed. Then he said: “This is the
time for the prayer.”
644 It was
narrated from ‘Awn bin Abi Juhaifah that his father said: “I came to the
Prophet (saw) and Bilal came out and called the Adhan, and he started doing
like this in his Adhan, turning to his right and left.”
645 ‘Abdur-Rahman
bin ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Sa’sa’ah Al-Ansari Al-Mazini narrated
that his father told him that Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said to him: “I see that you
love sheep and the desert. When you are with your sheep or in the desert and
you call the Adhan for prayer, then raise your voice, for no human, Jinn or
anything else hears the voice of the Mu’adhdhin as far as it reaches, but it
will bear witness for him on the Day of Resurrection.” Abu Sa’eed said: “I
heard it from the Messenger of Allah (saw).” (Sahih)
646 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah, who heard it from the mouth of the Messenger of
Allah (saw): “The Mu’adhdhin will be forgiven as far as his voice reaches, and
every wet and dry thing will bear witness for him.” (Sahih)
647 It was
narrated from Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azib that the Prophet of Allah (saw) said: “Allah
and His angels say salah upon the front rows, and the Mu’adhdhin will be
forgiven as far as his voice reaches, and whatever hears him, wet or dry, will
confirm what he says, and he will have a reward like that of those who pray
with him.” (Sahih)
648 It was
narrated that Abu Mahdhurah said: “I used to call the Adhan for the Messenger
of Allah (saw) and in the first Adhan of Fajr I used to say: ‘Hayya ‘ala
al-falah, as-salatu khairun minan-nawm, as-salatu khairun minan-nawm, Allahu
Akbar Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah (Come to prosperity, prayer is better
than sleep, prayer is better than sleep, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the
Greatest, there is non worthy of worship except Allah).’” (Sahih)
649 Sufyan
narrated a similar report with the same chain. (One of the narrators) (Abu)
‘Abdur-Rahman* (An-Nasa’i) said: “It is not Abu Ja’far Al-Farra’.” (Hasan)
*Some of the editions say: “Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman said” as if
it were An-Nasa’i, but that is a mistake as seen in the version of this Hadith
recorded by Ahmad (3:408), Sunan Al-Kubra by An-Nasa’i, Tuhfat Al-Ashraf
(9:286-287) and the biography of Abu Ja’far in Tahdhib Al-Kamal. And this
‘Abdur-Rahman is Ibn Mahdi, from whom Ahmad narrated it, and Al-Mizzi showed
that this Abu Ja’far is Abu Ja’far Al-Farra’.
650 It was
narrated from Al-Aswad that Bilal said: “The final words of the Adhan are: ‘Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the
Greatest, there is none worthy of worship except Allah).’” (Hasan)
651 It was
narrated that Al-Aswad said: “The final words of the Adhan of Bilal were: ‘Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the
Greatest, there is none worthy of worship except Allah).’” (Sahih)
652 (Another
chain) from Ibrahim, from Al-Aswad, with similar narration. (Sahih)
653 It was
narrated that Muharib bin Dithar said: “Al-Aswad bin Yazid narrated to me from
Abu Mahdhurah that the final words of the Adhan are: ‘La ilaha illallah (there
is none worthy of worship except Allah).’” (Sahih)
654 It was
narrated that ‘Amr bin Aws said: “A man of Thaqif told us that he heard the
caller of the Messenger of Allah (saw) on a rainy night during a journey
saying: ‘Hayya ‘ala as-salah, Hayya ‘ala al-falah, sallu fi rihalikum (Come to
prayer, come to prosperity, pray in your dwellings).’” (Sahih)
655 It was
narrated from Nafi’ that Ibn ‘Umar gave the call to prayer on a cold and windy
night, and he said: “Pray where you are, for the Prophet (saw) used to order
the Mu’adhdhin, if it was a cold and rainy night, to say: ‘Pray in your
dwellings.’” (Sahih)
656 Ja’far bin
Muhammad narrated from his father, that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “The
Messenger of Allah (saw) traveled until he came to ‘Arafah, where he found that
the tent had been pitched for him in Namirah, so he stopped there. Then when
the sun had passed its zenith he called for Qaswa’* and she was saddled for
him. Then when he reached the bottom of the valley he addressed the people.
Then Bilal called the Adhan, then he said the Iqamah and he prayed Zuhr, then
he said the Iqamah and prayed ‘Asr, and he did not offer any prayer in between
them.” (Sahih)
*The name of the Prophet’s (saw) mount which was a
she-camel.
657 It was
narrated that Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) moved on
until he came to Al-Muzdalifah, where he prayed Maghrib and ‘Isha’ with one
Adhan and two Iqamahs, and he did not offer any prayer in between them.”
(Sahih)
658 It was
narrated that Sa’eed bin Jubair said concerning Ibn ‘Umar: “We were with him
(Ibn ‘Umar) in Jam’ (Muzdalifah), and he called the Adhan, then the Iqamah,
then he led us in praying Maghrib. Then he said: ‘The prayer,’ and he led us in
praying ‘Isha’, two Rak’ahs. I said: ‘What is this prayer?’ He said: ‘This is
how I prayed with the Messenger of Allah (saw) in his place.’” (Sahih)
659 It was
narrated from Sa’eed bin Jubair that he prayed Maghrib and ‘Isha’ in Jam’
(Muzdalifah) with one Iqamah, then he narrated that Ibn ‘Umar had done that,
and Ibn ‘Umar narrated that the Prophet (saw) had done that. (Sahih)
660 It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that he prayed in Jam’a with the Messenger of Allah
(saw) with one Iqamah. (Sahih)
661 It was
narrated from Salim, from his father, that the Prophet (saw) joined them
(Maghrib and ‘Isha’) in Al-Muzdalifah, and he prayed each of them with an
Iqamah, and he did not offer any voluntary prayer before or after either of
them.
662 It was
narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Sa’eed that his father said: “On the day of
Al-Khandaq the idolaters kept us from praying Zuhr until the sun had gone down;
that was before the revelation concerning fighting was revealed. Then Allah,
the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: Allah sufficed for the believers in the
fighting. [33:25] The Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded Bilal to say the
Iqamah for Zuhr prayer, and he offered it just as he used to offer it on time.
Then he said the Iqamah for ‘Asr and offer it just as he used to offer it on
time. Then he called the Adhan for Maghrib and offered it on time.” (Sahih)
663 It was
narrated that Abu ‘Ubaidah said: “Abdullah said: ‘The idolaters kept the
Prophet (saw) from (offering) four prayers on the day of Al-Khandaq, so he
commanded Bilal to call the Adhan, then he said the Iqamah and prayed Zuhr,
then he said the Iqamah and prayed ‘Asr, then he said the Iqamah and prayed
Maghrib, then he said the Iqamah and prayed ‘Isha’.’” (Da’if)
664 ‘Abdullah
bin Mas’ud said: “We were fighting a battle and the idolaters kept us from
praying Zuhr, ‘Asr, Maghrib and ‘Isha’. When the idolaters went away, the
Messenger of Allah (saw) commanded a caller to say Iqamah for Zuhr prayer, and
we prayed. Then he said the Iqamah for ‘Asr, and we prayed, and he said the
Iqamah for Maghrib and we prayed, and he said the Iqamah for ‘Isha’ and we
prayed. Then he went around among us and said: ‘There is no group on Earth who
is remembering Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, except you.’” (Da’if)
665 It was
narrated that Mu’awiyah bin Hudaij that the Messenger of Allah (saw) prayed one
day and said the Taslim when there was still a Rak’ah left of the prayer. A man
caught up with him and said: ‘You forgot a Rak’ah of the prayer!’ So he came
back to the Masjid and told Bilal to call the Iqamah for prayer, then he led
the people in praying one Rak’ah. I told the people about that and they said to
me: ‘Do you know who that man was?’ I said: ‘No, not unless I see him.’ Then he
passed by me and I said: ‘This is he.’ They said: ‘This is Talha bin
‘Ubaidullah.’” (Sahih)
666 [It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Rubayyi’ah that he was with the Messenger of Allah
(saw) on a journey, and he hear the voice of a man calling the Adhan, and he
said what he said. When he reached the words: Ashhadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah), - Al-Hakam
said, “I did not hear this from Ibn Abi Lailah” – the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: “This is a shepherd or a man who is away from his family.” He went down
into the valley and found a shepherd, standing by a dead sheep. He said: “Do
you think that this is worthless to its owners?” They said: “Yes.” He said:
“This world is more worthless to Allah than this (dead sheep) is to its
owners.”] (Hasan)
667 It was
narrated that ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say:
‘Your Lord is pleased with a shepherd high in the mountains who calls the Adhan
for the prayer and prays. Allah says: ‘Look at this slave of Mine; he calls the
Adhan and Iqamah for prayer and fears Me. I have forgiven My slave and admitted
him to Paradise.’” (Sahih)
668 It was
narrated from Rifa’ah bin Rafi’ that while the Messenger of Allah (saw) was
sitting in the row for prayer. The Hadith.* (Sahih)
*With this chain, At-Tirmidhi recorded it (No. 302) and
An-Nasa’i in Al-Kubra (No. 1631). It is the narration about the man who prayed
incorrectly, and in it, the Prophet (saw) instructed him: ‘Then Tashhad, then
say the Iqamah.” And they say that the meaning of Tashhad here is call the
Adhan. An-Nasa’i recorded the hadith with different chains (1054, 1137,
1314,1315). Whereas the wording narrated by At-Tirmidhi, and the author in
Al-Kubra, mentions what the author mentioned in the chapter, the other cited
versions that An-Nasa’i in this book quoted do not. So it is as if he narrated
the chain here for Hadith, indicating the same version that At-Tirmidhi
narrated, and he himself in Al-Kubra, but he did not was to narrate the actual
text here. Abu Dawud also narrated it with the order for the Adhan and Iqamah,
through a different route of transmission (No. 861). And it is among the proofs
used for the view that the Adhan and Iqamah are obligatory – since it has been
ordered in the Hadith of the one who prayed incorrectly.
669 It was
narrated that Abu Al-Muthanna, the Mu’adhdhin of the Jami’ Masjid, said: “I
asked Ibn ‘Umar about the Adhan and he said: ‘At the time of the Messenger of
Allah (saw), the phrases of the Adhan were recited twice and the phrases of the
Iqamah once, except that you should say (the phrase) Qad qamat is-salah (prayer
is about to begin) twice. When we heard ‘prayer is about to begin’ we would
perform Wudu’ and go out to pray.’” (Sahih)
670 It was
narrated that Malik bin Al-Huwayrith said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said
to me and to a companion of mine: ‘When the time for prayer comes, let the two
of you call the Adhan then the two of you say the Iqamah, then let the older of
you lead the prayer.’” (Sahih)
671 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (saw) said: “When the call for the
prayer is given, the Shaitan takes to his heels, passing wind loudly so that he
will not hear the call to prayer. When the call to prayer is finished, he comes
back. And when the Iqamah is said, he again takes to his heels, and after it is
completed, he returns again to interfere between the (praying) person and his
heart, saying to him: ‘Remember such and such, remember such and such,’ – things
that he had not remembered – until he does not know how many (Rak’ahs) he has
prayed.” (Sahih)
672 It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “If the
people know what (virtue) there is in the call to prayer the first row, and
they had no other way but to draw lots concerning them, they would draw lots.
If they knew what (virtue) there is in coming early for the prayer, they would
compete in doing so. And if they knew what (virtue) there is in ‘Atamah and
Subh prayer, they would come even if they had to crawl.” (Sahih)
673 It was
narrated that ‘Uthman bin Abi Al-‘As said: “I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, make
me the Imam of my people.’ He said: ‘You are their Imam, so consider the
weakest among them and choose a Mu’adhdhin who does not accept any payment for
his Adhan.’” (Sahih)
674 It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
“When you hear the call, say what the Mu’adhdhin says.” (Sahih)
675 An-Nasr
bin Sufyan narrated that he heard Abu Hurairah say: “We were with the Messenger
of Allah (saw), and Bilal stood up and gave the call. When he fell silent the
Messenger of Allah 9saw) said: ‘Whoever says the same as this (what the
Mu’adhdhin) with certainty, he will enter Paradise.’” (Hasan)
676 It was
narrated that Mujammi’ bin Yahya Al-Ansari said: “I was sitting with Abu Umamah
bin Sahl bin Hunaif when the Mu’adhdhin called the Adhan. He said: ‘Allahu
Akbar, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest),’ and he
(also) pronounced the Takbir twice. Then he said: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah
(I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah),’ and he
also sent the testimony twice. Then he said: ‘Ashhadu anna Muhammadan
Rasulullah (I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah),’ and he
(also) sent the testimony twice. Then he said: ‘This is what Mu’awiyah bin Abi
Sufyan told me, narrating from statement of the Messenger of Allah (saw).’”
(Sahih)
677 It was
narrated that Abu Umamah bin Sahl said: “I heard Mu’awiyah say: ‘I heard the
Messenger of Allah (saw), when he heard the Mu’adhdhin, repeating what he
said.’” (Sahih)
678 It was
narrated that ‘Alqamah bin Waqqas said: “I was with Mu’awiyah when the
Mu’adhdhin called the Adhan. Mu’awiyah said what the Mu’adhdhin said, but when
he said: ‘Hayya ‘alas-salah (come to prayer),’ he said: ‘La hawla wa la quwwata
illa Billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah);’ and when he
said: ‘Hayya ‘alal-falah (come to prosperity),’ he said: ‘La hawla wa la
quwwata illa Billah (There is no power and no strength except with Allah).’
After that he said what the Mu’adhdhin said, then he said: ‘I heard the
Messenger of Allah (saw) saying exactly like that.’” (Sahih)
679 ‘Abdullah
bin ‘Amr said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say: ‘When you hear the
Mu’adhdhin then say what he says, and do Salah upon me, for whoever does Salah
upon me once, Allah will do Salah upon him ten (times). Then ask Allah to grant
me Al-Wasilah, which is a position in Paradise which only one of the slaves of
Allah will attain, and I hope that I will be the one. Whoever asks for
Al-Wasilah for me, will be entitled to my intercession.’” (Sahih)
680 It was
narrated from Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “Whoever
says, when he hears the Mu’adhdhin: ‘Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wahdau la
sharika lahu wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa Rasuluhu, raditu Billahi Rabban, was
bil-Islami dinan wa bi Muhammadin Rasula (I bear witness that there is none
worthy of worship except Allah lone, with no partner or associate, and that
Muhammad is His slave and Messenger; I am content with Allah as my Lord, Islam
as my religion and Muhammad as my Messenger),’ his sins will be forgiven.”
(Sahih)
681 It was
narrated that Jabir said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Whoever says,
when he hears the call to prayer: “Allahumma rabba hadhihid-da’wat it-tammah
was-salat il-qa’imah, ati Muhammadan al-wasilah was-fadilah, wab’athu maqaman
mahmudan alladhi wa’adtahu (O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer
to be offered, grant Muhammad the privilege (of interceding) and also the
eminence, and resurrect him to the praised position that you have promised),’
will be granted my intercession on the Day of Resurrection.” (Sahih)
682 It was
narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Mughaffal said: “The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
‘Between each two Adhans* there is a prayer, between each two Adhans there is a
prayer, between each two Adhans there is a prayer, for whoever wants to do
it.’” (Sahih)
*Meaning, between the Adhan and Iqamah.
683 It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “When the Mu’adhdhin called the Adhan, some
of the Companions of the Prophet (saw) would get up and rush to the pillars (in
the Masjid) and pray until the Prophet (saw) came out and they were like that.
They would pray before Maghrib and there was nothing between the Adhan and
Iqamah.” (Sahih)
684 It was
narrated from Ash’ath bin Abi Ash-Sha’tha’ that his father said: “I saw Abu
Hurairah, when a man passed by in the Masjid until he parted from it – after
the call. Abu Hurairah said: ‘This man has indeed disobeyed Abu Al-Qasim
(saw).’” (Sahih)
685 Abu
Sakhrah narrated that Abu Ash-Sha’tha’ said: “A man left the Masjid after the
call to prayer had been given, and Abu Hurairah said: ‘This man was indeed
disobeyed Abu Al-Qasim (saw).’” (Sahih)
686 It was
narrated that ‘Aishah said: “Between the time when he finished ‘Isha’ prayer
and Fajr, the Prophet (saw) used to pray eleven Rak’ahs, saying the Taslim
after each two Rak’ahs, then praying Witr as one Rak’ah. He would prostrate for
as long as it takes one to recite fifty verses, then he would raise his head.
When the Mu’adhdhin finished the call to Fajr prayer and he could see the dawn,
he would pray two brief Rak’ahs, then he would lie down on his right side until
the Mu;adhdhin came to ask permission to say the Iqamah, then he would go out
with him.” Some of these narrators (Ibn Abi Dhi’b, Yunus and ‘Amr bin
Al-Harith) added some phrases not mentioned by the others in the Hadith.
(Sahih)
687 It was
narrated from Makhramah bin Sulaiman that Kuraib – the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas
– told him: “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas: ‘How did the Messenger of Allah (saw) pray at
night?’ He said: ‘He prayed eleven Rak’ahs including Witr, then he slept deeply
until I could hear him snoring, then Bilal came to him and said: “The prayer, O
Messenger of Allah!” Then he got up and prayed two brief Rak’ahs then led the
people in prayer, and he did not perform Wudu’.’” (Sahih)
688 It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin Abi Qatadah that his father said: “The Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: ‘When the Iqamah for prayer is said, do not stand up until
you see that I have come out.’” (Sahih)
