Volume 1, Book 11, Number 577
Narrated Anas:
The people mentioned the fire and the bell (they suggested those as
signals to indicate the starting of prayers), and by that they
mentioned the Jews and the Christians. Then Bilal was ordered to
pronounce Adhan for the prayer by saying its wordings twice, and for
the Iqama (the call for the actual standing for the prayers in rows)
by saying its wordings once. (Iqama is pronounced when the people
are ready for the prayer).
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 578
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
When the Muslims arrived at Medina, they used to assemble for the
prayer, and used to guess the time for it. During those days, the
practice of Adhan for the prayers had not been introduced yet. Once
they discussed this problem regarding the call for prayer. Some
people suggested the use of a bell like the Christians, others
proposed a trumpet like the horn used by the Jews, but 'Umar was the
first to suggest that a man should call (the people) for the prayer;
so Allah's Apostle ordered Bilal to get up and pronounce the Adhan
for prayers.
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 579
Narrated Anas:
Bilal was ordered to repeat the wording of the Adhan for prayers
twice, and to pronounce the wording of the Iqamas once except
"Qad-qamat-is-Salat".
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 580
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
When the number of Muslims increased they discussed the question as
to how to know the time for the prayer by some familiar means. Some
suggested that a fire be lit (at the time of the prayer) and others
put forward the proposal to ring the bell. Bilal was ordered to
pronounce the wording of Adhan twice and of the Iqama once only.
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 581
Narrated Abu Qilaba:
Anas said, "Bilal was ordered to pronounce the wording of Adhan
twice and of Iqama once only." The sub narrator Isma'li said, "I

Qad-Qamatis-Salat which should be said twice)."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 582
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "When the Adhan is pronounced Satan takes to
his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not
to hear the Adhan. When the Adhan is completed he comes back and
again takes to his heels when the Iqama is pronounced and after its
completion he returns again till he whispers into the heart of the
person (to divert his attention from his prayer) and makes him
remember things which he does not recall to his mind before the
prayer and that causes him to forget how much he has prayed."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 583
Narrated 'Abdul Rahman:
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri told my father, "I see you liking sheep and the
wilderness. So whenever you are with your sheep or in the wilderness
and you want to pronounce Adhan for the prayer raise your voice in
doing so, for whoever hears the Adhan, whether a human being, a jinn
or any other creature, will be a witness for you on the Day of
Resurrection." Abu Said added, "I heard it (this narration) from
Allah's Apostle."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 584
Narrated Humaid:
Anas bin Malik said, "Whenever the Prophet went out with us to fight
(in Allah's cause) against any nation, he never allowed us to attack
till morning and he would wait and see: if he heard Adhan he would
postpone the attack and if he did not hear Adhan he would attack
them." Anas added, "We reached Khaibar at night and in the morning
when he did not hear the Adhan for the prayer, he (the Prophet )
rode and I rode behind Abi Talha and my foot was touching that of
the Prophet.
The inhabitants of Khaibar came out with their baskets and spades
and when they saw the Prophet they shouted 'Muhammad! By Allah,
Muhammad and his army.' When Allah's Apostle saw them, he said,
"Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach
a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning of
those who have been warned."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 585

"Some of my companions told me that Hisham had said, "When the
Mu'adhdhin said, "Haiya alas-sala(t) (come for the prayer)." Muawiya

any power except with Allah)" and added, "We heard your Prophet
saying the same."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 588
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever after listening to the Adhan says,
'Allahumma Rabba hadhihi-d-da' watit-tammati was-salatil qa'imati,
ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadilata, wab' athhu maqaman
mahmudan-il-ladhi wa' adtahu (O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (of
not ascribing partners to You) and of the regular prayer which is
going to be established! Kindly give Muhammad the right of
intercession and superiority and send him (on the Day of Judgment)
to the best and the highest place in Paradise which You promised
him)', then intercession for me will be permitted for him on the Day
of Resurrection").
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 589
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If the people knew the reward for pronouncing
the Adhan and for standing in the first row (in congregational
prayers) and found no other way to get that except by drawing lots
they would draw lots, and if they knew the reward of the Zuhr prayer
(in the early moments of its stated time) they would race for it (go
early) and if they knew the reward of 'Isha' and Fajr (morning)
prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if they
had to crawl."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith:
Once on a rainy muddy day, Ibn 'Abbas delivered a sermon in our
presence and when the Mu'adhdhin pronounced the Adhan and said,
"Haiya ala-s-sala(t) (come for the prayer)" Ibn 'Abbas ordered him
to say 'Pray at your homes.' The people began to look at each other
(surprisingly). Ibn 'Abbas said. "It was done by one who was much
better than I (i.e. the Prophet or his Mu'adhdhin), and it is a
license.'
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 591
Narrated Salim bin Abdullah:
My father said that Allah s Apostle said, "Bilal pronounces 'Adhan

Adhan."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 595
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:
The Prophet said, "The Adhan pronounced by Bilal should not stop you
from taking Suhur, for he pronounces the Adhan at night, so that the
one offering the late night prayer (Tahajjud) from among you might
hurry up and the sleeping from among you might wake up. It does not
mean that dawn or morning has started." Then he (the Prophet)
pointed with his fingers and raised them up (towards the sky) and
then lowered them (towards the earth) like this (Ibn Mas'ud imitated
the gesture of the Prophet). Az-Zuhri gestured with his two index
fingers which he put on each other and then stretched them to the
right and left. These gestures illustrate the way real dawn appears.
It spreads left and right horizontally. The dawn that appears in the
high sky and lowers down is not the real dawn) .

between the Adhan and the Iqama." Shu'ba said, "There used to be a
very short interval between the two (Adhan and Iqama)."

Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to pray two light Rakat before the morning
(compulsory) prayer after the day dawned and the Mu'adhdhin had

(pray)."

Narrated Malik bin Huwairth:
I came to the Prophet with some men from my tribe and stayed with
him for twenty nights. He was kind and merciful to us. When he
realized our longing for our families, he said to us, "Go back and

prayer and one of you should pronounce the Adhan for the prayer when

cooler." The Mu'adh-dhin again wanted to pronounce the Adhan for the

We came to the Prophet and stayed with him for twenty days and
nights. We were all young and of about the same age. The Prophet was

families, he asked about our homes and the people there and we told
him. Then he asked us to go back to our families and stay with them
and teach them (the religion) and to order them to do good things.
He also mentioned some other things which I have (remembered or)

who did not present themselves for the (compulsory congregational)

Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of the prayer offered by a person
in congregation is twenty five times greater than that of the prayer
offered in one's house or in the market (alone). And this is because
if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to
the mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for every step
he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and
his one sin is taken off (crossed out) from his accounts (of deeds).
When he offers his prayer, the angels keep on asking Allah's
Blessings and Allah's forgiveness for him as long as he is (staying)
at his Musalla. They say, 'O Allah! Bestow Your blessings upon him,
be Merciful and kind to him.' And one is regarded in prayer as long

abdominal disease, one who dies of drowning, one who is buried alive
(and) dies and one who is killed in Allah's cause." (The Prophet
further said, "If the people knew the reward for pronouncing the
Adhan and for standing in the first row (in the congregational
prayer) and found no other way to get it except by drawing lots they
would do so, and if they knew the reward of offering the Zuhr prayer

Allah's Statement: "We record that which they have sent before
(them), and their traces" (36.12). 'Their traces' means 'their
steps.' " And Anas said that the people of Bani Salima wanted to
shift to a place near the Prophet but Allah's Apostle disliked the
idea of leaving their houses uninhabited and said, "Don't you think
that you will get the reward for your footprints." Mujahid said,

added, "Certainly I decided to order the Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) to
pronounce Iqama and order a man to lead the prayer and then take a
fire flame to burn all those who had not left their houses so far
for the prayer along with their houses."

of you is in the prayer as long as he is waiting for the prayer and
nothing but the prayer detains him from going to his family."
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 629
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah will give shade, to seven, on the Day when
there will be no shade but His. (These seven persons are) a just
ruler, a youth who has been brought up in the worship of Allah (i.e.
worships Allah sincerely from childhood), a man whose heart is
attached to the mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the
mosque in congregation), two persons who love each other only for
Allah's sake and they meet and part in Allah's cause only, a man who
refuses the call of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit
intercourse with her and says: I am afraid of Allah, a man who gives
charitable gifts so secretly that his left hand does not know what

prayer? Are there four Rakat in Fajr prayer?"

Narrated Al-Aswad:
"We were with 'Aisha discussing the regularity of offering the
prayer and dignifying it. She said, 'When Allah's Apostle fell sick
with the fatal illness and when the time of prayer became due and
Adhan was pronounced, he said, 'Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in
prayer.' He was told that Abu Bakr was a soft-hearted man and would
not be able to lead the prayer in his place. The Prophet gave the
same order again but he was given the same reply. He gave the order
for the third time and said, 'You (women) are the companions of
Joseph. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the prayer.' So Abu Bakr came out to
lead the prayer. In the meantime the condition of the Prophet
improved a bit and he came out with the help of two men one on each
side. As if I was observing his legs dragging on the ground owing to
the disease. Abu Bakr wanted to retreat but the Prophet beckoned him
to remain at his place and the Prophet was brought till he sat
beside Abu Bakr." Al-A'mash was asked, "Was the Prophet praying and
Abu Bakr following him, and were the people following Abu Bakr in
that prayer?" Al-A'mash replied in the affirmative with a nod of his
head. Abu Muawiya said, "The Prophet was sitting on the left side of
Abu Bakr who was praying while standing."

another man."
'Ubaid Ullah said, "I told Ibn 'Abbas what 'Aisha had narrated and
he said, 'Do you know who was the (second) man whose name 'Aisha did
not mention'" I said, 'No.' Ibn 'Abbas said, 'He was 'Ali Ibn Abi
Talib.' "

it is dark and flood water is flowing (in the valley) and I am blind
man, so please pray at a place in my house so that I can take it as
a Musalla (praying place)." So Allah's Apostle went to his house and

his house and Allah's Apostle, offered the prayer there.

Ibn Abbas addressed us on a (rainy and) muddy day and when the
Mu'adh-dhin said, "Come for the prayer" Ibn 'Abbas ordered him to
say, "Pray in your homes." The people began to look at one another
with surprise as if they did not like it. Ibn 'Abbas said, "It seems
that you thought ill of it but no doubt it was done by one who was
better than I (i.e. the Prophet). It (the prayer) is a strict order
and I disliked to bring you out."
Ibn 'Abbas narrated the same as above but he said, "I did not like
you to make you sinful (in refraining from coming to the mosque) and
to come (to the mosque) covered with mud up to the knees."

water, and the Prophet prayed two Rakat on it." A man from the
