4. The Book of Prayers

٤۔ كتاب الصلاة

4.2 The Command to say the phrases of the Adhan twice and the phrases of the iqamah once, except the phrase, "Prayer is about to begin," which is to be said twice

٤۔٢ باب الأَمْرِ بِشَفْعِ الأَذَانِ وَإِيتَارِ الإِقَامَةِ

(214) bukhari:603ʿImrān b. Maysarah > ʿAbd al-Wārith > Khālid al-Ḥadhhāʾ > Abū Qilābah > Anas > Dhakarūā al-Nār And al-Nnāqūs Fadhakarūā al-Yahūd Wa-al-Nnaṣārá Faʾumir Bilāl > Yashfaʿ al-Adhān

The people mentioned the fire and the bell (they suggested those as signals to indicate the starting of prayers), and by that they mentioned the Jews and the Christians. Then Bilal was ordered to pronounce Adhan for the prayer by saying its wordings twice, and for the Iqama (the call for the actual standing for the prayers in rows) by saying its wordings once. (Iqama is pronounced when the people are ready for the prayer).  

(٢١٤) البخاري:٦٠٣حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْحَذَّاءُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

ذَكَرُوا النَّارَ وَالنَّاقُوسَ فَذَكَرُوا الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى فَأُمِرَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الأَذَانَ وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ
