Hazrat Mughira and Ibrahim say that the muezzin will not lift his feet from the ground.

Hazrat Abu Juhaifah narrates that I presented myself in the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the place of Abtah. Hazrat Bilal came to give the call to prayer (adhan); he gave the adhan in such a way that he turned his face to the right and to the left.

Ibrahim says that the muezzin will face the qiblah at the time of adhan, shahadah, and iqamah.

Hazrat Faid bin Bakeer says that I went with Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) to the mosque for the Fajr prayer. The muezzin of Walid bin Uqbah, Hazrat Ibn Al-Tayyah, was giving the adhan and was saying: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah. While giving the adhan, he was turning to the right and to the left. Upon this, Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Allah Almighty grants sustenance to whomsoever He wills through his voice.

Ibrahim, regarding the muezzin, says that he will join his feet together and face the qiblah. When he says "Qad qamatis salah," he will turn his face to the right and to the left.

Hazrat Abu Juhaifa narrates that Hazrat Bilal planted a spear, then gave the call to prayer (adhan) in such a way that he placed his fingers in his ears.

Hazrat Ibn Sirin says that the muezzin will face the qiblah and place his fingers in his ears.

Hazrat Naseer said that I saw Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) giving the call to prayer while sitting on a camel. Hazrat Sufyan asked Naseer whether he had placed his fingers in his ears; he replied, no.

Muhammad says that the call to prayer (adhan) is that a person should say "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar" and then place his fingers in his ears. Ibn al-Asam was the first to abandon the practice of placing fingers in the ears.

Hazrat Hisham states that when Hazrat Ibn Sirin would give the adhan, he would leave his hands open, then when he reached "Hayya 'ala-s-Salah" and "Hayya 'ala-l-Falah," he would insert his fingers into his ears.
