Hadith.870 - Imam Ali (as) said: "The last thing my beloved (the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said to me before parting was: 'O’ Ali, when you lead the prayer, lead it considering the weakest among those behind you. And do not appoint a mu'adhdhin who takes payment for his adhan.'"

التَّكْبِيرُ جَزْمٌ فِي الْأَذَانِ مَعَ الْإِفْصَاحِ بِالْهَاءِ وَ الْأَلِفِ‌[6].

Hadith.871 - Khalid ibn Najih narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "The takbir (saying 'Allahu Akbar') in the adhan must be pronounced firmly, with clear articulation of the 'ha' and 'alif'“.

'I will not call the adhan for anyone after the Messenger of Allah (sw).' Therefore, on that day, 'Hayya 'ala khayr al-'Amal' (Hasten to the best of deeds) was left out."

مِنَ السُّنَّةِ إِذَا أَذَّنَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَضَعَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ.

Hadith.874 - Khalid ibn Najih narrated from Imam (as) that He said: "The adhan and the iqamah must be recited with firmness." In another narration, it states, "They must be delivered with a pause."

لَا يُجْزِيكَ مِنَ الْأَذَانِ إِلَّا مَا أَسْمَعْتَ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ فَهِمْتَهُ 9 وَ أَفْصِحْ بِالْأَلِفِ وَ الْهَاءِ[3] وَ صَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ ص كُلَّمَا ذَكَرْتَهُ أَوْ ذَكَرَهُ ذَاكِرٌ عِنْدَكَ فِي أَذَانٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ وَ كُلَّمَا[4] اشْتَدَّ صَوْتُكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُجْهِدَ نَفْسَكَ كَانَ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ أَكْثَرَ وَ كَانَ أَجْرُكَ فِي ذَلِكَ أَعْظَمَ.

Hadith.875 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "The adhan is not sufficient for you unless you hear it yourself or understand it. Clearly articulate the 'alif' and 'ha'." Send blessings upon the Prophet and his family (as) whenever you mention him or hear someone mention him, wheth

إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ حَرُمَ الْكَلَامُ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا فِي تَقْدِيمِ إِمَامٍ‌[3].

Hadith.879 - Zurarah narrated from Imam Abu Ja'far (as) that He said: "When the iqamah (second call to prayer) is pronounced, speaking becomes prohibited for the Imam and the people of the mosque, except in the case of appointing an Imam."

وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ يَؤُمُّكُمْ أَقْرَؤُكُمْ وَ يُؤَذِّنُ لَكُمْ خِيَارُكُمْ وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ أَفْصَحُكُمْ.

Hadith.880 - Imam Ali (as) said that the Messenger of Allah (sw) said: "The one who leads you in prayer should be the one who has the most knowledge of the Qur'an among you, and the one who calls the adhan (mu'adhdhin) should be the best among you." In another narration, it is said: "the most articulate among you."

Hadith.883 - Imam (as) said: "Whoever calls the adhan (call to prayer) for seven years with the intention of seeking Allah’s (swt) reward will come on the Day of Judgment without any sins."

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِذَا سَمِعَتِ الْأَذَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ قَالَتْ هَذِهِ أَصْوَاتُ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص بِتَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ لِأُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص حَتَّى يَفْرُغُوا مِنْ تِلْكَ الصَّلَاةِ.

Hadith.884 - It is narrated: "When the angels hear the adhan (call to prayer) from the people of the earth, they say, 'These are the voices of the nation of Muhammad (sw) declaring the oneness of Allah (swt).' They then seek forgiveness from Allah (swt) for the nation of Muhammad until the prayer is completed."

«إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ اَلْأَذَانِ أَنْ يَفْتَتِحَ اَللَّيْلَ بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَةٍ وَ يَفْتَتِحَ اَلنَّهَارَ بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَةٍ وَ يُجْزِيكَ فِي سَائِرِ اَلصَّلاَةِ إِقَامَةٌ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ.

Hadith.885 – Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said: "The minimum that suffices for the adhan is to begin the night with an adhan and iqamah and to begin the day with an adhan and iqamah. For the other prayers during the day, an iqamah without an adhan suffices."

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‌ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْنِ وَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ فِي الْحَضَرِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عِلَّةٍ بِأَذَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ إِقَامَتَيْنِ‌[2].

Hadith.886 - Abdullah ibn Sinan narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) combined the Dhuhr (noon) and 'Asr (afternoon) prayers with one adhan and two iqamah, and he combined the Maghrib (sunset) and 'Isha (night) prayers in the same setting without any particular reason, u

Hadith.887 - It is narrated: "Whoever prays with both the adhan (call to prayer) and iqamah (second call to prayer), two rows of angels pray behind him. And whoever prays with just the iqamah without the adhan, one row of angels prays behind him, and the extent of the row is from the east to the west."

- مَنْ أَذَّنَ وَ أَقَامَ صَلَّى وَرَاءَهُ صَفَّانِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ إِنْ أَقَامَ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ صَلَّى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَاحِدٌ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَاحِدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ اغْتَنِمِ الصَّفَّيْنِ.

Hadith.888 - In the narration of Abbas ibn Hilal from Abu Al-Hasan Imam al-Ridha (as) said: "Whoever gives the adhan (call to prayer) and the iqamah (second call to prayer) will have two rows of angels praying behind him.

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ مَنْ سَمِعَ الْأَذَانَ فَقَالَ كَمَا يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ زِيدَ فِي رِزْقِهِ.

Hadith.904 - It is narrated: "Whoever hears the adhan (call to prayer) and repeats what the mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) says will have an increase in their sustenance."

حَمَلْتُ مَتَاعِي مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ إِلَى مِصْرَ فَقَدِمْتُهَا فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ إِذَا أَنَا بِشَيْخٍ طَوِيلٍ شَدِيدِ الْأُدْمَةِ[2] أَبْيَضِ الرَّأْسِ وَ اللِّحْيَةِ عَلَيْهِ طِمْرَانِ‌[3] أَحَدُهُمَا أَسْوَدُ وَ الْآخَرُ أَبْيَضُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالُوا هَذَا بِلَالٌ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخَذْتُ أَلْوَاحاً فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَ

They said: "This is Bilal, the muezzin (c

وَ كَانَ بِلاَلٌ يُؤَذِّنُ بَعْدَ اَلصُّبْحِ فَقَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «إِنَّ اِبْنَ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ يُؤَذِّنُ بِاللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ أَذَانَهُ فَكُلُوا وَ اِشْرَبُوا حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا أَذَانَ بِلاَلٍ.

Hadith.906 - Bilal used to call to prayer after the morning (Fajr), and The Prophet (sw) said: "Indeed, Ibn Umm Maktum calls to prayer during the night, so if you hear his adhan, eat and drink until you hear the adhan of Bilal."

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص امْتَنَعَ بِلَالٌ مِنَ الْأَذَانِ وَ قَالَ لَا أُؤَذِّنُ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ ع قَالَتْ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِنِّي أَشْتَهِي أَنْ أَسْمَعَ صَوْتَ مُؤَذِّنِ أَبِي ع بِالْأَذَانِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ بِلَالًا فَأَخَذَ فِي الْأَذَانِ فَلَمَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ذَكَرَتْ أَبَاهَا ع وَ أَيَّامَهُ فَلَمْ تَتَمَالَكْ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ فَلَم

Hadith.907 - It is narrated that when The Prophet (sw) passed away, Bilal refrained from calling the adhan, stating, "I will not give the adhan for anyone after the Messenger of Allah (sw)." One day, Sayyida Fatimah Al-Zahra {S.A} said: "I long to hear the voice of my father's caller to prayer with the adhan." When Bil

لَيْسَ عَلَى النِّسَاءِ أَذَانٌ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٌ وَ لَا جُمُعَةٌ وَ لَا اسْتِلَامُ الْحَجَرِ وَ لَا دُخُولُ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ لَا الْهَرْوَلَةُ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ[1] وَ لَا الْحَلْقُ إِنَّمَا يُقَصِّرْنَ مِنْ شُعُورِهِنَّ. وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يَكْفِيهَا مِنَ التَّقْصِيرِ مِثْلُ طَرَفِ الْأَنْمُلَةِ[2]

Hadith.909 - In another report, Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "A woman is not required to perform the adhan (call to prayer) or the iqamah (call to commence prayer) if She hears the adhan of her locality. The two testimonies (shahadatayn) are sufficient for her. However, if She chooses to give the adhan a

إِذَا تَغَوَّلَتْ لَكُمُ الْغُولُ فَأَذِّنُوا[3]

وَ قَالَ ع‌ الْمَوْلُودُ إِذَا وُلِدَ يُؤَذَّنُ فِي أُذُنِهِ الْيُمْنَى وَ يُقَامُ فِي الْيُسْرَى.

Hadith.912 - Imam (as) said: "Whoever does not eat meat for forty days, their temperament may deteriorate, and if their temperament becomes poor, then recite the adhan (call to prayer) in their ear."

وَ قَالَ ع‌ كَانَ اسْمُ النَّبِيِّ ص يُكَرَّرُ فِي الْأَذَانِ فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ حَذَفَهُ ابْنُ أَرْوَى‌[1]. وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا أَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ حُرِّمَ الْبَيْعُ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‌ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلى‌ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ ذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ‌

Hadith.913 - Imam (as) said: "The name of the Prophet (sw) used to be repeated in the adhan (call to prayer), and the first one to remove it was Ibn Arwa." It is also reported: "In Medina, when the mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) would make the adhan on Jumu’ah, a caller would announce that trading was forbidden due to t
