The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins
893 - وَ سَأَلَ زَيْدٌ اَلشَّحَّامُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ اَلْأَذَانَ وَ اَلْإِقَامَةَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ ذَكَرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ فَلْيُصَلِّ عَلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ لْيُقِمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ دَخَلَ فِي اَلْقِرَاءَةِ فَلْيُتِمَّ صَلاَتَهُ».
Hadith.893 - Zaid al-Shahham asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about a man who forgot the adhan (call to prayer) and iqamah (second call to prayer) and began the prayer.
The Imam said: "If he remembers before reciting (the Qur'an in prayer), he should send blessings upon the Prophet and his family and then recite the iqamah. But if he has already started reciting, then he should complete his prayer”.
894 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ اَلسَّابَاطِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ نَسِيَ مِنَ اَلْأَذَانِ حَرْفاً فَذَكَرَهُ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنَ اَلْأَذَانِ وَ اَلْإِقَامَةِ قَالَ «يَرْجِعُ إِلَى اَلْحَرْفِ اَلَّذِي نَسِيَهُ فَلْيَقُلْهُ وَ لْيَقُلْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ اَلْحَرْفِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَ لاَ يُعِيدُ اَلْأَذَانَ كُلَّهُ وَ لاَ اَلْإِقَامَةَ.
Hadith.894 - It was narrated from Ammar al-Sabati that He said: "Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who forgot a word during the adhan (call to prayer) and remembered it after completing the adhan and iqamah (second call to prayer).
The Imam said: "He should go back to the word he forgot, say it, and then continue from that point to the end. He does not need to repeat the entire adhan or the iqamah."
895 - وَ سَأَلَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلتَّثْوِيبِ اَلَّذِي يَكُونُ بَيْنَ اَلْأَذَانِ وَ اَلْإِقَامَةِ فَقَالَ «مَا نَعْرِفُهُ».
Hadith.895 - Muawiya ibn Wahb asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the practice of "tathwib" (additional announcements or calls made between the adhan and the iqamah).
Imam (as) replied: "We do not recognize it”.
896 - وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ اَلْغُلاَمُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَحْتَلِمَ وَ لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ اَلْمُؤَذِّنُ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ لاَ يُقِيمُ حَتَّى يَغْتَسِلَ.
Hadith.896 - Imam Ali (as) used to say:
"There is no issue if a boy calls the adhan (call to prayer) before reaching the age of puberty, and there is no issue if the mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) is in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity), but he should not perform the iqamah (second call to prayer) until he has performed ghusl (ritual purification)."
897 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَكْرٍ اَلْحَضْرَمِيُّ وَ كُلَيْبٌ اَلْأَسَدِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ حَكَى لَهُمَا اَلْأَذَانَ فَقَالَ «- اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ حَيَّ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ حَيَّ عَلَى اَلصَّلاَةِ حَيَّ عَلَى اَلْفَلاَحِ حَيَّ عَلَى اَلْفَلاَحِ حَيَّ عَلَى خَيْرِ اَلْعَمَلِ حَيَّ عَلَى خَيْرِ اَلْعَمَلِ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ » وَ اَلْإِقَامَةُ كَذَلِكَ.
Hadith.897 - Abu Bakr al-Hadhrami and Kulaib al-Asadi narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that he taught them the adhan, saying:
"Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (Allah (swt) is the Greatest, repeated four times).
I bear witness that there is no god but Allah (swt) (twice).
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (sw) (twice).
Hasten to prayer (twice).
Hasten to success (twice).
Hasten to the best of deeds (twice).
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. There is no god but Allah (swt) (twice)."
The iqamah is the same.
898 - وَقَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فِي اَلْمُؤَذِّنِينَ «إِنَّهُمُ اَلْأُمَنَاءُ.
Hadith.898 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said regarding the mu'adhdhins (callers to prayer):
"They are the trustworthy ones”.
899 - وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «صَلِّ اَلْجُمُعَةَ بِأَذَانِ هَؤُلاَءِ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَشَدُّ شَيْءٍ مُوَاظَبَةً عَلَى اَلْوَقْتِ.
وينبغي أن يكون بين الأذان والإقامة جلسة إلا المغرب فإنه يجزي [أن يكون] بين الأذان والإقامة نفس.
Hadith.899 - Imam (as) said:
"Pray the Jumu'ah (Jumu’ah prayer) with the adhan of these people, for they are the most diligent in observing the time."
[AL SADUQ]
There should be a sitting between the adhan and iqamah, except for Maghrib, where it suffices to have only a breath's interval between the adhan and iqamah.
900 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُجْزِي فِي اَلسَّفَرِ إِقَامَةٌ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ.
Hadith.900 - Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Abdullah narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said:
"In travel, the iqamah (second call to prayer) suffices without the adhan (call to prayer)."
901 - وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ فِي اَلطَّرِيقِ أَوْ فِي بَيْتِكَ ثُمَّ أَقَمْتَ فِي اَلْمَسْجِدِ 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."
902 - وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يُؤَذِّنُ وَ يُقِيمُ غَيْرُهُ وَ كَانَ يُقِيمُ وَ قَدْ أَذَّنَ غَيْرُهُ.
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.
