ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ إِفْرَادَ الْإِقَامَةِ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ خَلَا قَوْلِهِ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ

[Machine] I heard Ibn Umar saying, "During the time of the Prophet ﷺ, the Adhan (call to prayer) was repeated twice, and the Iqamah (second call to prayer) was performed once, except that he used to say, 'The prayer has been established twice.'"
