إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ أَوْ فِي بَيْتِكَ ثُمَّ أَقَمْتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَجْزَأَكَ.

Hadith.901 - Abu Basir narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "If you give the adhan (call to prayer) on the road or in your home, and then perform the iqamah (second call to prayer) in the mosque, it suffices."

وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع- يُؤَذِّنُ وَ يُقِيمُ غَيْرُهُ وَ كَانَ يُقِيمُ وَ قَدْ أَذَّنَ غَيْرُهُ‌[5].

Hadith.902 - Imam Ali (as) would sometimes give the adhan (call to prayer) while someone else would perform the iqamah (second call to prayer), and at other times, he would perform the iqamah after someone else had given the adhan.

فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنِّي سُقْمِي وَ كَثُرَ وُلْدِي قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ وَ كُنْتُ دَائِمَ الْعِلَّةِ مَا أَنْفَكُّ مِنْهَا فِي نَفْسِي وَ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ خَدَمِي وَ عِيَالِي حَتَّى إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَبْقَى وَ مَا لِي أَحَدٌ يَخْدُمُنِي فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ هِشَامٍ عَمِلْتُ بِهِ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ عِيَالِي الْعِلَلَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ.

Hadith.903 - Hisham ibn Ibrahim complained to Imam al-Ridha (as) about his illness and the fact that he had no children. The Imam advised him to raise his voice with the adhan (call to prayer) in his home. Hisham said: "I did as he advised, and Allah (swt) removed my illness and granted me many children." Muhammad ibn

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

Hadith.905 - It was narrated by Abdullah ibn Ali that He said: I transported my goods from Basra to Egypt. While on a path, I encountered a tall elderly man, dark-skinned, with a white head and beard, wearing two garments - one black and the other white. I asked: "Who is this?" 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

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

Hadith.911 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "When a child is born, the adhan (call to prayer) should be recited in their right ear, and the iqamah (call to commence prayer) in their left ear."

وَ قَالَ ع‌ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْكُلِ اللَّحْمَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً سَاءَ خُلُقُهُ وَ مَنْ سَاءَ خُلُقُهُ فَأَذِّنُوا فِي أُذُنِهِ.

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

Hadith.914 – Imam al-Ridha (as) was reported to have said as mentioned by al-Fadl ibn Shadhan (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him): "People were commanded to perform the adhan (call to prayer) for many reasons. Among them is that it serves as a reminder for those who forget, an awakening for the heedless, a means of inf

Hadith.915 - Hamad ibn Isa reported that one day Imam Abu Abdullah (as) asked him, "Do you know how to pray, Hamad?" Hamad replied: "O’ Master, I have memorized the book of Ḥarīz on prayer." Imam said: "It is fine, rise and pray." So Hamad stood facing the qibla and began his prayer, reciting, bowing, and prostrating.

Hadith.917 - Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) narrated that He said: "The Messenger of Allah (sw) went out for prayer while carrying Imam al-Husayn (as) on his shoulder, as al-Husayn (as) had delayed in speaking, and there was concern that he might have a speech impediment or be unable to speak. The Prophet (sw) car

Hadith.918 - Hisham ibn al-Hakam narrated from Abu Al-Hasan Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as), that He said: "There is another reason (for the seven takbirs), which is that when The Prophet (sw) was taken up to the heavens (during the Miʿrāj), he passed through seven veils (ḥujub). At each veil, He said a takbir (decl

Hadith.919 - Al-Fadl ibn Shadhan reported from Imam al-Rida (as): "Another reason (for the seven takbirs) is that the original structure of the prayer is two Rak'ah (units), and the opening of these two Rak'ah with seven takbirs corresponds to the takbir for the opening, the takbir for bowing (Rukuh), and the two takbi

Hadith.921 - A man asked The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) saying: "O’ son of the cousin of the best of Allah’s (swt) creation, what is the meaning of raising your hands in the first Takbir (opening glorification of Allah (swt))?"

Hadith.931 - Abu Basir asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the reason for why the prayer consists of two units (rak'ahs) with four prostrations (Sujood). Imam (as) replied: "Because one unit of standing (qiyam) is equivalent to two units of sitting."

لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى «فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ اَلْعَظِيمِ» قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «اِجْعَلُوهَا فِي رُكُوعِكُمْ» فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «سَبِّحِ اِسْمَ رَبِّكَ اَلْأَعْلَى» قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ «اِجْعَلُوهَا فِي سُجُودِكُمْ.

Hadith.938 - Al-Halabi asked him, "Should I mention the names of the Imams (as) in prayer?" Imam (as) replied: "Mention them collectively”.

وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّ الْبُكَاءَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ الْبُكَاءَ لِذِكْرِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْأَعْمَالِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ. وَ رُوِيَ‌ أَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ شَيْ‌ءٍ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ كَيْلٌ أَوْ وَزْنٌ إِلَّا الْبُكَاءَ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّ الْقَطْرَةَ مِنْهُ تُطْفِئُ بِحَاراً مِنَ النِّيرَانِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ بَاكِياً بَكَى فِي أُمَّةٍ لَرُحِمُوا[5].

صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَيَّاماً فَكَانَ يَقْنُتُ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ يُجْهَرُ فِيهَا أَوْ لَا يُجْهَرُ[2].
