Sunan Ibn Majah #465

The Book of the Adhan and the Sunnah Regarding It
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، مُؤَذِّنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ أَذَانَ بِلاَلٍ كَانَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَإِقَامَتُهُ مُفْرَدَةً ‏.‏
In the Adhan of Bilal, the phrases were two by two, and in his Iqamah they were said once.
Narrated by 'Abdur-Rahman bin Sa'd bin 'Ammar bin Sa'd narrated (from his great-grandfather of the Messenger of Allah) that:

Context

This hadith describes the Adhan of Bilal, where the phrases were recited in pairs, while the Iqamah was recited once. This highlights the significance of the Adhan in Islamic practice and the role of Bilal as the Prophet's muezzin.

Modern Application

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer and Prophetic Conduct because it illustrates the method of recitation used by Bilal, the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) muezzin, during the Adhan.
