Narrated Uthman ibn Abul As: Messenger of Allah, appoint me the leader of the tribe in prayer. He said: You are their leader, but you should follow on who is the weakest of them: and appoint a muadhdhin who does not charge for the calling of adhan.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Bilal made a call to prayer before the break of dawn; the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم , therefore, commanded him to return and make a call: Lo! the servant of Allah (i. e. I) had slept (hence this mistake). The version of Musa has the addition: He returned and made a call: Lo! the servant of Allah had slept. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Darawardi from Ubaid Allah on the authority of Ibn Umar saying: There was a muadhdhin of Umar, named Masud. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version is more correct than that one.

Nafi reported: A muadhdhin of Umar, named Masruh, called the Adhan for the morning prayer before the break of dawn; Umar commanded him (to repeat). The narrator reported the tradition in a similar way. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by al-Darawardi from Ubaid Allah on the authority of Ibn Umar, saying: there was a muadhdhin of Umar, named Masud. He then narrated the rest of the tradition. This version is more correct than one.

Narrated Bilal: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said to Bilal: Do not call adhan until the dawn appears clearly to you in this way, stretching his hand in latitude. Abu Dawud said: Shaddad did not see Bilal.

Aishah reported: Ibn Umm Maktum was the muadhdhin of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and he was blind.

Abu al-Shatha said: we were sitting with Abu Hurairah in the mosque. A man went out of the mosque after the ADHAN for the afternoon prayer had been called. Abu Hurairah said: As regards this (man), he disobeyed Abu al-Qasim, the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم .

Jabir bin Samurah said: Bilal would call the Adhan, then he used come to wait. When he would see that the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم had come out (of his house), he would pronounce the iqama.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar: Mujahid reported: I was in the company of Ibn Umar. A person invited the people for the noon or afternoon prayer (after the adhan had been called). He said: Go out with us (from this mosque) because this is an innovation (in religion).

Abu Qatadah reported on the authority of his father: the prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said; When the Iqamah for prayer is pronounced, do not stand until you see me. Abu Dawud said: this has been narrated by Ayyub and Hajjaj al-Sawwaf from Yahya and Hisham al-Duatawa’i in a similar way, saying: Yahya wrote to me (in this way). And this has been narrated by Muawiyah bin Sallam and Ali bin al-Mubarak from Yahya:“Until you see me and show tranquility”.

This tradition has also been reported through a different chain of narrators in a similar way. This version says:“Until you see me that I have come out”. Abu dawud said: No one except Mamar has narrated the words“that I have come out”. And the version transmitted by Ibn ‘Uyainah from Mamar does not mention the words“that I have come out”.
