Hadith.670 - Al-Hussein ibn al-Mukhtar narrated from Him, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), that He (ibn al-Mukhtar) said: "I am the muezzin (the caller to prayer). On a cloudy day, when I cannot ascertain the time (for prayer), Imam (as) said: 'When the rooster crows three consecutive times, then the sun has passed its zenith and the time for prayer has entered.'"
