Chapter 1

(1) Chapter. How the Adhan for Salat (prayer) was started.

1- بَابُ بَدْءُ الأَذَانِ:

English narration

Narrated by أنس بن مالك الأنصاري

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).

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرُوا النَّارَ وَالنَّاقُوسَ ، فَذَكَرُوا الْيَهُودَ ، وَالنَّصَارَى ، : ذَكَرُوا النَّارَ "

فَأُمِرَ بِلَالٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الْأَذَانَ وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الْإِقَامَةَ
