Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to Hunayn. I went behind him with ten men from Makkah. We heard those people giving the call to prayer (adhan), so we also stood up and began to give the adhan, mocking them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have heard the adhan of a person among these people whose voice is very beautiful." Then he called us. Each of us gave the adhan separately. I gave the adhan last of all. He said: "Come forward!" Then he made me sit in front of him, passed his hand over my forehead, and prayed for me three times. Then he said: "Go and give the adhan at the House of Allah (the Ka'bah)." I said: "How, O Messenger of Allah?" So he taught me the method of adhan, just as the adhan is given nowadays: Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya 'ala-s-salah, Hayya 'ala-s-salah; Hayya 'ala-l-falah, Hayya 'ala-l-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah. In the first adhan of the morning, these words are used: "As-salatu khayrun min an-nawm, as-salatu khayrun min an-nawm." He also taught me to say the words of iqamah twice: "Qad qamatis salah, qad qamatis salah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah."
