Sunan Abu Dawud — Prayer

Abu Salih narrated this tradition with a different chain of transmitters to the same effect as reported by Sulaiman b. Dawud. But this version has the word KHARAJA (he went out) instead of BARAZA (proceeded)

حدثنا احمد بن صالح، حدثنا ابن وهب، اخبرني يحيى بن ازهر، وابن، لهيعة عن الحجاج بن شداد، عن ابي صالح الغفاري، عن علي، بمعنى سليمان بن داود قال فلما خرج . مكان فلما برز

He replied: pray there because they are the places of blessing

This tradition has been narrated by Dawud b. Sawar al-Muzani through a different chain of transmitters and to the same effect. This version adds; if any of you marries his slave-girl to his male-slave or his servant, he should not look at her private part below her navel and above her knees.

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Abdullah ibn Khubayb al-Juhani: Hisham ibn Sa'd reported: We entered upon Mu'adh ibn Abdullah ibn Khubayb al-Juhani. He said to his wife: When (at what age) should a boy pray?

Narrated AbuUmayr ibn Anas: AbuUmayr reported on the authority of his uncle who was from the Ansar (the helpers of the Prophet): The Prophet (ﷺ) was anxious as to how to gather the people for prayer. The people told him: Hoist a flag at the time of prayer; when they see it, they will inform one another. But he (the Prophet) did not like it. Then someone mentioned to him the horn. Ziyad said: A horn of the Jews. He (the Prophet) did not like it. He said: This is the matter of the Jews. Then they mentioned to him the bell of the Christians. He said: This is the matter of the Christians. Abdullah ibn Zayd returned anxiously from there because of the anxiety of the Apostle (ﷺ). He was then taught the call to prayer in his dream. Next day he came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him about it. He said: Messenger of Allah, I was between sleep and wakefulness; all of a sudden a newcomer came (to me) and taught me the call to prayer. Umar ibn al-Khattab had also seen it in his dream before, but he kept it hidden for twenty days. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me (Umar): What did prevent you from saying it to me? He said: Abdullah ibn Zayd had already told you about it before me: hence I was ashamed. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Bilal, stand up, see what Abdullah ibn Zayd tells you (to do), then do it. Bilal then called them to prayer. AbuBishr reported on the authority of AbuUmayr: The Ansar thought that if Abdullah ibn Zayd had not been ill on that day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would have made him mu'adhdhin

حدثنا عباد بن موسى الختلي، وزياد بن ايوب، - وحديث عباد اتم - قالا حدثنا هشيم، عن ابي بشر، - قال زياد اخبرنا ابو بشر، - عن ابي عمير بن انس، عن عمومة، له من الانصار قال اهتم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم للصلاة كيف يجمع الناس لها فقيل له انصب راية عند حضور الصلاة فاذا راوها اذن بعضهم بعضا فلم يعجبه ذلك قال فذكر له القنع - يعني الشبور - وقال زياد شبور اليهود فلم يعجبه ذلك وقال " هو من امر اليهود " . قال فذكر له الناقوس فقال " هو من امر النصارى " . فانصرف عبد الله بن زيد بن عبد ربه وهو مهتم لهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاري الاذان في منامه - قال - فغدا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبره فقال له يا رسول الله اني لبين نايم ويقظان اذ اتاني ات فاراني الاذان . قال وكان عمر بن الخطاب - رضى الله عنه - قد راه قبل ذلك فكتمه عشرين يوما - قال - ثم اخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال له " ما منعك ان تخبرني " . فقال سبقني عبد الله بن زيد فاستحييت فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يا بلال قم فانظر ما يامرك به عبد الله بن زيد فافعله " . قال فاذن بلال . قال ابو بشر فاخبرني ابو عمير ان الانصار تزعم ان عبد الله بن زيد لولا انه كان يوميذ مريضا لجعله رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم موذنا

‘Abd Allah b. Zaid reported :when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ordered a bell to be made so that it might be struck to gather the people for prayer, a man carrying a bell in his hand appeared to me while I was asleep, and I said; servant of ‘abd Allah, will you sell the bell? He asked; what will you do with it? I replied; we shall use it to call the people to prayer. He said; should I not suggest you something better than that. I replied: certainly. Then he told me to say: Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to pray, come to pray; come to salvation; come to salvation. Allah is most great, Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah. He then moved backward a few steps and said: when you utter the IQAMAH, you should say: Allah is most great, Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to prayer, come to salvation. The time for prayer has come, the time for prayer has come: Allah is most great, Allah is most great. There is no god but Allah. When the morning came, I came to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and informed him of what I had seen in the dream. He said: it is a genuine vision, and he then should use it to call people to prayer, for he has a louder voice than you have. So I got up along with Bilal and began to teach it to him and he used it in making the call to prayer. ‘Umar b. al-khattab (Allah be pleased with him) heard it while he was in his house and came out trailing his cloak and said: Messenger of Allah. By him who has sent you with the truth, I have also seen the kind of thing as has been shown to him. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: To Allah be the praise. Abu Dawud said; Al-Zuhri narrated this tradition in a similar way from Sa’id b. al-Musayyib on the authority of ‘Abd Allah b. Zaid. In this version Ibn Ishaq narrated from al-Zuhri: Allah is most great. Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great. Ma;mar and yunus narrated from al-Zuhri; Allah is most great, Allah is most great. They did not report it twice again

حدثنا محمد بن منصور الطوسي، حدثنا يعقوب، حدثنا ابي، عن محمد بن اسحاق، حدثني محمد بن ابراهيم بن الحارث التيمي، عن محمد بن عبد الله بن زيد بن عبد ربه، قال حدثني ابي عبد الله بن زيد، قال لما امر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالناقوس يعمل ليضرب به للناس لجمع الصلاة طاف بي وانا نايم رجل يحمل ناقوسا في يده فقلت يا عبد الله اتبيع الناقوس قال وما تصنع به فقلت ندعو به الى الصلاة . قال افلا ادلك على ما هو خير من ذلك فقلت له بلى . قال فقال تقول الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله قال ثم استاخر عني غير بعيد ثم قال وتقول اذا اقمت الصلاة الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح قد قامت الصلاة قد قامت الصلاة الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله فلما اصبحت اتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فاخبرته بما رايت فقال " انها لرويا حق ان شاء الله فقم مع بلال فالق عليه ما رايت فليوذن به فانه اندى صوتا منك " . فقمت مع بلال فجعلت القيه عليه ويوذن به - قال - فسمع ذلك عمر بن الخطاب وهو في بيته فخرج يجر رداءه ويقول والذي بعثك بالحق يا رسول الله لقد رايت مثل ما راى . فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " فلله الحمد " . قال ابو داود هكذا رواية الزهري عن سعيد بن المسيب عن عبد الله بن زيد وقال فيه ابن اسحاق عن الزهري " الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر " . وقال معمر ويونس عن الزهري فيه " الله اكبر الله اكبر " . لم يثنيا

Abu Mahdhurah reported; I said; Messenger of Allah, teach me the method of ADHAN (how to pronounce the call to prayer). He wiped my forehead (with his hand) and asked me to pronounce; Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great, raising your voice while saying them (these words). Then you must raise your voice in making the testimony:I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Lowering your voice while saying them (these words). Then you must raise your voice in making the testimony: I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify there is no god but Allah; I testify Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to prayer, come to prayer; come to salvation, come to salvation. If it is the morning prayer, you must pronounce; prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep, Allah is most great; there is no god but Allah

حدثنا مسدد، حدثنا الحارث بن عبيد، عن محمد بن عبد الملك بن ابي محذورة، عن ابيه، عن جده، قال قلت يا رسول الله علمني سنة الاذان . قال فمسح مقدم راسي وقال " تقول الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر ترفع بها صوتك ثم تقول اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله تخفض بها صوتك ثم ترفع صوتك بالشهادة اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح فان كان صلاة الصبح قلت الصلاة خير من النوم الصلاة خير من النوم الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله

Abu Mahdhurah also narrated this tradition from the prophet (May peace be upon him) to the same effect through a different chain of transmitters. This version has the additional wordings. The phrases “prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep” are to be pronounced in the first ADHAN (i.e., not in Iqamah) of the morning prayer. Abu Dawud said; The version narrated by Musaddad is more clear. It reads:He (the prophet) taught me IQAMAH (to pronounce each phrase) twice: Allah is most great. Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah: come to prayer, come to prayer: come to salvation, come to salvation: Allah is most great. Allah is great; there is no god but Allah. Abu Dawud said: The narrator ‘Abd al-Razzaq said; You pronounce IQAMAH for announcing the prayer; you must say twice: the time for prayer has come, the time for prayer has come. (The Prophet said to Abu Mahdhurah): did you listen (to me)? Abu Mahdhurah would not have the hair of his forehead cut, nor would he separate them (from him) because the Prophet (ﷺ) wiped over them

حدثنا الحسن بن علي، حدثنا ابو عاصم، وعبد الرزاق، عن ابن جريج، قال اخبرني عثمان بن السايب، اخبرني ابي وام عبد الملك بن ابي محذورة، عن ابي محذورة، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نحو هذا الخبر وفيه " الصلاة خير من النوم الصلاة خير من النوم في الاولى من الصبح " . قال ابو داود وحديث مسدد ابين قال فيه قال وعلمني الاقامة مرتين مرتين " الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله " . وقال عبد الرزاق " واذا اقمت الصلاة فقلها مرتين قد قامت الصلاة قد قامت الصلاة اسمعت " . قال فكان ابو محذورة لا يجز ناصيته ولا يفرقها لان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم مسح عليها

Abu Mahdhurah reported ; The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) taught him nineteen phrases in ADHAN and seventeen phrases in IQAMAH. ADHAN runs; Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great; I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah:come to prayer, come to prayer, come to salvation; Allah is most great, Allah is most great: there is no god but Allah. IQAMAH runs: Allah is most great, Allah is most great. Allah is most great, Allah is most great: I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; come to prayer; come to prayer: come to salvation. Come to salvation; the time for prayer has come the time for prayer has come: Allah is most great, Allah is most great: there is no god but Allah. This is recorded in his collection (i.e., in the collection of the narrator Hammam b. Yahya) according to the tradition reported by Abu Mahdhurah (i.e., IQAMAH contains seventeen phrases)

حدثنا الحسن بن علي، حدثنا عفان، وسعيد بن عامر، وحجاج، - والمعنى واحد - قالوا حدثنا همام، حدثنا عامر الاحول، حدثني مكحول، ان ابن محيريز، حدثه ان ابا محذورة حدثه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علمه الاذان تسع عشرة كلمة والاقامة سبع عشرة كلمة الاذان " الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله والاقامة الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح قد قامت الصلاة قد قامت الصلاة الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله " . كذا في كتابه في حديث ابي محذورة

Abu Mahdurah reported :The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) himself taught me the call to prayer (adhan). He asked me to pronounce: Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great: I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah. Then repeat and raise your voice; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah ; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; come to prayer, come to prayer; come to salvation, come to salvation; Allah is most great. Allah is most great; there is no god but Allah

حدثنا محمد بن بشار، حدثنا ابو عاصم، حدثنا ابن جريج، اخبرني ابن عبد الملك بن ابي محذورة، - يعني عبد العزيز - عن ابن محيريز، عن ابي محذورة، قال القى على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم التاذين هو بنفسه فقال " قل الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله - مرتين مرتين - قال ثم ارجع فمد من صوتك اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح الله اكبر الله اكبر لا اله الا الله

Abu Mahdhurah reported:The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) taught me the call to prayer (adhan) verbatim; Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; come to prayer, come to prayer; come to salvation, come to salvation. He used to pronounce “prayer is better than sleep” in the dawn prayer

حدثنا النفيلي، حدثنا ابراهيم بن اسماعيل بن عبد الملك بن ابي محذورة، قال سمعت جدي عبد الملك بن ابي محذورة، يذكر انه سمع ابا محذورة، يقول القى على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الاذان حرفا حرفا " الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله حى على الصلاة حى على الصلاة حى على الفلاح حى على الفلاح " . قال وكان يقول في الفجر الصلاة خير من النوم

Abu Mahdhurah said that the apostle of Allah (May peace be upon him) taught him the call to prayer (adhan), saying:Allah is most great, Allah is most great; I testify that there is no god but Allah. He then narrated adhan like the one contained in the tradition transmitted by Ibn Juraij from ‘Abd al-aziz b. ‘abd al-Malik to the same effect. The version Malik b. Dinar has. I asked the son of Abu Mahdhurah, saying: Narrate to me the adhan of your father narrated from the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). He said: Allah is most great, Allah is most great, that is all. Similar is the version narrated by Ja’far b. Sulaiman from the son of Abd Muhdhurah from his uncle on the authority of his grandfather, excepting that he said; Then repeat and raise your voice. Allah is most great. Allah is most great

حدثنا محمد بن داود الاسكندراني، حدثنا زياد، - يعني ابن يونس - عن نافع بن عمر، - يعني الجمحي - عن عبد الملك بن ابي محذورة، اخبره عن عبد الله بن محيريز الجمحي، عن ابي محذورة، ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم علمه الاذان يقول " الله اكبر الله اكبر اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان لا اله الا الله اشهد ان محمدا رسول الله " . ثم ذكر مثل اذان حديث ابن جريج عن عبد العزيز بن عبد الملك ومعناه . قال ابو داود وفي حديث مالك بن دينار قال سالت ابن ابي محذورة قلت حدثني عن اذان ابيك عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فذكر فقال " الله اكبر الله اكبر " . قط وكذلك حديث جعفر بن سليمان عن ابن ابي محذورة عن عمه عن جده الا انه قال " ثم ترجع فترفع صوتك الله اكبر الله اكبر

Ibn Abi Laila said:Prayer passed through three stages. And out people narrated to us that Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said; it is to my liking that the prayer of Muslims or believers should be united (i.e., in congregation), so much so that I intended to send people to the houses to announce the time of prayer; and I also resolved that I should order people to stand at (the tops of) the forts and announce the time of the prayer for Muslims; and they struck the bell or were about to strike the bell (to announce the time for prayer). Then came a person from among the Ansar who said: Messenger of Allah, when I returned from you, as I saw your anxiety. I saw (in sleep) a person with two green clothes on him; he stood on the mosque and called (people) to prayer. He then sat down for a short while and stood up and pronounced in a like manner, except that he added: “The time for prayer has come”. If the people did not call me (a liar), and according to the version of Ibn al-Muthanna, if you did not call me (a liar). I would say that I was awake; I was awake; I was not asleep. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: According to the version of Ibn al-Muthanna, Allah has shown you a good (dream). But the version of ‘Amr does not have the words: Allah has shown you a good (dream). Then ask Bilal to pronounce the ADHAN (to call to the prayer). ‘Umar (in the meantime) said: I also had a dream like the one he had. But as he informed earlier. I was ashamed (to inform). Our people have narrated to us: when a person came (to the mosque during the prayer in congregation), he would ask (about the RAKAHS of prayer), and he would be informed about the number of RAKAHS already performed. They would stand (in prayer) along with the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him): some in standing position; others bowing; some sitting and some praying along with the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him). Ibn al-Muthanna reported from ‘Amr from Hussain b. Abi Laila, saying ; Until Mu’adh came. Shu’bah said ; I heard it from Hussain who said : I shall follow the position (in the prayer in which I find him (the prophet)). . . you should do in a similar way. Abu Dawud said: I then turned to the tradition reported by ‘Amr b. Marzuq he said; then Ma’adh came and they (the people) hinted at him. Shu’bah said; I heard it from hussain who said: Mu’adh then said; I shall follow the position (in the prayer when I join it) in which I find him (the prophet). He then said: Mu’adh has prayer when I join it in which I find him (the prophet). He then said: MU’adh has introduced for you a SUNNAH (a model behaviour), so you should do in a like manner. He said; our people have narrated to us; when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Madina, he commanded them (the people) to keep fast for three days. Thereafter the Quranic verses with regard to the fasts during Ramadan were revealed. But they were people who were not accustomed to keep fast ; hence the keeping of the fasts was hard for them; so those who could not keep fast would feed an indigent; then the month”. The concession was granted to the patient and the traveler; all were commanded to keep fast

Narrated Mu'adh ibn Jabal: Prayer passed through three stages and fasting also passed through three stages. The narrator Nasr reported the rest of the tradition completely. The narrator, Ibn al-Muthanna, narrated the story of saying prayer facing in the direction of Jerusalem. He said: The third stage is that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to Medina and prayed, i.e. facing Jerusalem, for thirteen months. Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse: "We have seen thee turning thy face to Heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wherever ye may be, turn your face (when ye pray) toward it" (ii.144). And Allah, the Reverend and the Majestic, turned (them) towards the Ka'bah. He (the narrator) completed his tradition. The narrator, Nasr, mentioned the name of the person who had the dream, saying: And Abdullah ibn Zayd, a man from the Ansar, came. The same version reads: And he turned his face towards the qiblah and said: Allah is most great, Allah is most great; I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; come to prayer (he pronounced it twice), come to salvation (he pronounced it twice); Allah is Most Great, Allah is most great. He then paused for a while, and then got up and pronounced in a similar way, except that after the phrase "Come to salvation" he added. "The time for prayer has come, the time for prayer has come." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Teach it to Bilal, then pronounce the adhan (call to prayer) with the same words. As regards fasting, he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to fast for three days every month, and would fast on the tenth of Muharram. Then Allah, the Exalted, revealed the verse: ".......Fasting was prescribed for those before you, that ye may ward off (evil)......and for those who can afford it there is a ransom: the feeding of a man in need (ii.183-84). If someone wished to keep the fast, he would keep the fast; if someone wished to abandon the fast, he would feed an indigent every day; it would do for him. But this was changed. Allah, the Exalted, revealed: "The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an ..........(let him fast the same) number of other days" (ii.185). Hence the fast was prescribed for the one who was present in the month (of Ramadan) and the traveller was required to atone (for them); feeding (the indigent) was prescribed for the old man and woman who were unable to fast. (The narrator, Nasr, further reported): The companion Sirmah, came after finishing his day's work......and he narrated the rest of the tradition

Anas reported; Bilal was commanded to pronounce Adhan in double pairs and IQAMAH in single pairs. Hammam added in his version; “except IQAMAH”

حدثنا سليمان بن حرب، وعبد الرحمن بن المبارك، قالا حدثنا حماد، عن سماك بن عطية، ح وحدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا وهيب، جميعا عن ايوب، عن ابي قلابة، عن انس، قال امر بلال ان يشفع، الاذان ويوتر الاقامة . زاد حماد في حديثه الا الاقامة

Anas reported the tradition like that of Wuhaib. Ismail said:I narrated this tradition to Ayyub who said: “Except IQAMAH”

حدثنا حميد بن مسعدة، حدثنا اسماعيل، عن خالد الحذاء، عن ابي قلابة، عن انس، مثل حديث وهيب . قال اسماعيل فحدثت به، ايوب فقال الا الاقامة

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: The words of adhan were pronounced from the time of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) twice in pairs (i.e. four times) each, and the words of iqamah were pronounced once in pairs (twice each), except that the phrase "The time for prayer has come" would be pronounced twice. When we heard iqamah, we would perform ablution, and go out for prayer. Shu'bah said: I did not hear AbuJa'far narrating any other tradition except this one

حدثنا محمد بن بشار، حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، سمعت ابا جعفر، يحدث عن مسلم ابي المثنى، عن ابن عمر، قال انما كان الاذان على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مرتين مرتين والاقامة مرة مرة غير انه يقول قد قامت الصلاة قد قامت الصلاة فاذا سمعنا الاقامة توضانا ثم خرجنا الى الصلاة . قال شعبة ولم اسمع من ابي جعفر غير هذا الحديث
