he said: "I said to Abu Mahdhurah: 'I am going to Ash-Sham and I am afraid that I will be asked about how you say the Adhan. "'He told me that Abu Mahdhurah said to him, I went out with a group of people and we were somewhere on the road to Hunain when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was coming back from Hunain. The Messenger of Allah met us somewhere on the road and the Muadhdhin of the Messenger of Allah called the Adhan for prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We heard the voice of the Muadh'dhin and we were careless about it (the Adhan), so we started yelling, immitating and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to stand in front of him. He said, 'Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?' The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: 'Stand up and call the Adhan for the Prayer.' I stood up and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me the Adhan himself. He Said, 'Say: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah (Allah is the Greatest,Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah,I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah).' Then he said: 'Then repeat and say in a loud voice:Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'ala-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha ill-Allah (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; come to prosperity, come to prosperity; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is none worthy of worship except Allah).' Then he called me when I had finished saying the Adhan, and he gave me a bundle in which there was some silver. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let me be the one doing the Adhan in Makkah.' He said: 'I command you to do so.' Then I came to 'Attab bin Asid who was the governor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Makkah, and I called the Adhan for prayer with him upon the orders of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Hunain, I was the tenth of a group of ten of the people of Makkah who were trying to catch up with them. We heard them calling the Adhan for the prayer and we started to repeat the Adhan, mocking them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I heard among these people the Adhan of one who has a beautiful voice.' He sent for us, and we recited the Adhan one by one, and I was the last of them. When I said the Adhan, he said: 'Come here.' He sat me down in front of him and rubbed my forelock and blessed me three times, then he said, 'Go and give the Adhan at the sacred House.' I said: 'How, O Messenger of Allah?' He taught me as you say the Adhan now: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'ala-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah Hayya 'alal-falah; as-salatu khairun min an-nawm;as-salatu khairun min an-nawm; (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; come to prosperity, come to prosperity; prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep)' - in the first (Adhan) for As-Subh (Fajr). And he taught me the Iqamah saying each phrase twice: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, (Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar), Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'alas-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah; qad qamatis-salah, qad qamati-salah, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar La ilaha illallah (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest); I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah ; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; come to prosperity, come to prosperity; the prayer is about to begin, the prayer is about to begin, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is none worthy of worship except Allah)." (One of the narrators) Ibn Juraij said: ''Uthman narrated this whole report to me from his father and from Umm 'Abdul-Malik bin Abi Mahdhurah, and (said that) they heard that from Abu Mahdhurah.

"Abdul-'Aziz bin 'Abdul-Malik bin Abu Mahdhurah narrated from 'Abdullah bin muhairiz who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah bin mi'yar that when he was preparing him to travel to Sham, he said: 'O my uncle, I am going out to Sham, and I will be asked about how you started the Adhan.' So he informed me that. Abu Mahdhurah said: 'I went out with a group of people, and we were somewhere on the road, when the Mu'adh-dhin of the Messenger of Allah gave the call to prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. We heard the voice of the Mu'adh-dhin, and we were shunning it (the Adhan), so we started yelling, imitating it and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to sit in front of him. He said: 'Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?' The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: 'Stand up and give the call to prayer.' I stood up and there was nothing more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah and what he was telling me to do. I stood up in front of the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah himself taught me the call. He said: "Say: 'Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).'" Then he said: "Raise your voice (and say).

Then he called me when I had finished saying the Adhan, and gave me a small bag in which there was some silver. Then he put his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face, then over his chest, and over his heart, until the hand of the Messenger of Allah reached his navel. Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah bless you and send blessings upon you.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you command me to give the call to prayer in Makkah?' He said: 'Yes, I command you (to do so).' Then all the hatred I had felt towards the Messenger of Allah disappeared, and was replaced with love for the Messenger of Allah. I came to 'Attab bin Asid, the governor of the Messenger of Allah in Makkah, and gave the call to prayer with him by command of the Messenger of Allah." (Sahih)He ('Abdul-'Aziz) said: "Someone who met Abu Mahdhurah told me the same as 'Abdullah bin Muhairiz told me."

[Machine] Abu Mahdhurah, I went out with the Prophet ﷺ in a group of ten boys, and he was the least liked by us. So, we called the adhan and started making fun of them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring me those boys." They called the adhan and I was one of them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, this is the voice I heard. Go and call the people of Mecca to prayer." He placed his hand on my forehead and said, "Say, Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, twice, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, twice. Then go back and say, there is no god but Allah, twice, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, twice. Come to life for prayer, come to life for prayer, come to success, come to success, twice. Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest, there is no god but Allah. When you call the first adhan of dawn, say, prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep. And when you establish the prayer, say it twice: the prayer has been established, the prayer has been established. Did you hear that?" Abu Mahdhurah said, "He never wiped his forehead or separated his hair because the Prophet ﷺ had placed his hand on it."

when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a bell to be made so that it might be struck to gather the people for prayer, a man carrying a bell in his hand appeared to me while I was asleep, and I said; servant of ‘abd Allah, will you sell the bell? He asked; what will you do with it? I replied; we shall use it to call the people to prayer. He said; should I not suggest you something better than that. I replied: certainly. Then he told me to say: Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to pray, come to pray; come to salvation; come to salvation. Allah is most great, Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah. He then moved backward a few steps and said: when you utter the IQAMAH, you should say: Allah is most great, Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Come to prayer, come to salvation. The time for prayer has come, the time for prayer has come: Allah is most great, Allah is most great. There is no god but Allah. When the morning came, I came to the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) and informed him of what I had seen in the dream. He said: it is a genuine vision, and he then should use it to call people to prayer, for he has a louder voice than you have. So I got up along with Bilal and began to teach it to him and he used it in making the call to prayer. ‘Umar b. al-khattab (Allah be pleased with him) heard it while he was in his house and came out trailing his cloak and said: Messenger of Allah. By him who has sent you with the truth, I have also seen the kind of thing as has been shown to him. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said: To Allah be the praise. Abu Dawud said; Al-Zuhri narrated this tradition in a similar way from Sa’id b. al-Musayyib on the authority of ‘Abd Allah b. Zaid. In this version Ibn Ishaq narrated from al-Zuhri: Allah is most great. Allah is most great, Allah is most great, Allah is most great. Ma;mar and yunus narrated from al-Zuhri; Allah is most great, Allah is most great. They did not report it twice again. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 499)

"Abdul-'Aziz bin 'Abdul-Malik bin Abu Mahdhurah narrated from 'Abdullah bin muhairiz who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah bin mi'yar that when he was preparing him to travel to Sham, he said: 'O my uncle, I am going out to Sham, and I will be asked about how you started the Adhan.' So he informed me that. Abu Mahdhurah said: 'I went out with a group of people, and we were somewhere on the road, when the Mu'adh-dhin of the Messenger of Allah gave the call to prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. We heard the voice of the Mu'adh-dhin, and we were shunning it (the Adhan), so we started yelling, imitating it and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to sit in front of him. He said: 'Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?' The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: 'Stand up and give the call to prayer.' I stood up and there was nothing more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah and what he was telling me to do. I stood up in front of the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah himself taught me the call. He said: "Say: 'Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).'" Then he said: "Raise your voice (and say). Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya 'alal-salah, Hayya 'alal-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah).'" Then he called me when I had finished saying the Adhan, and gave me a small bag in which there was some silver. Then he put his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face, then over his chest, and over his heart, until the hand of the Messenger of Allah reached his navel. Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah bless you and send blessings upon you.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you command me to give the call to prayer in Makkah?' He said: 'Yes, I command you (to do so).' Then all the hatred I had felt towards the Messenger of Allah disappeared, and was replaced with love for the Messenger of Allah. I came to 'Attab bin Asid, the governor of the Messenger of Allah in Makkah, and gave the call to prayer with him by command of the Messenger of Allah."

[Machine] Abu Mahdhurah, I went out with the Prophet ﷺ along with ten young men to Hunayn and they were the most hated people to us. They called the adhan and we started mocking them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring me those young men." They answered the adhan and I was the last one. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, this is the one whose voice I heard. Go and call the people of Makkah for prayer and tell 'Attab Ibn Usaid that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me to call the people of Makkah for prayer and to wipe my forehead." He said, "Say: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, twice. Then say, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, twice. Come to prayer, Come to success, twice. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no god but Allah. When you call the first adhan of Fajr, say: Prayer is better than sleep, Prayer is better than sleep. When you establish the prayer, say it twice: The prayer has begun, have you heard? Abu Mahdhurah never wiped his face nor parted his hair, because the Prophet ﷺ wiped his forehead. Abu al-Qasim, Uthman, the one who narrated this hadith from Ibn Jurayj, is Uthman bin Al-Sa'ib, a freed slave of Bani Jumah.  

أَبُو مَحْذُورَةَ خَرَجْتُ فِي عَشَرَةِ فِتْيَانٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ وَهُمْ أَبْغَضُ النَّاسِ إِلَيْنَا فَأَذَّنُوا وَقُمْنَا نَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «ائْتُونِي بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْفِتْيَانِ» فَقَالَ «أَذِّنُوا» فَأَذَّنُوا فَكُنْتُ آخِرَهُمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَعَمْ هَذَا الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهُ اذْهَبْ فَأَذِّنْ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَقُلْ لِعَتَّابِ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُؤَذِّنَ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَمَسَحَ عَلَى نَاصِيَتِهِ فَقَالَ قُلِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ ارْجِعْ فَقُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ مَرَّتَيْنِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَإِذَا أَذَّنْتَ بِالْأُولَى مِنَ الصُّبْحِ فَقُلِ الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ فَقُلْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ سَمِعْتَ؟ فَكَانَ أَبُو مَحْذُورَةَ لَا يَجُّزُّ نَاصِيَتَهُ وَلَا يَفْرُقُهَا؛ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَسَحَ عَلَيْهَا قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ عُثْمَانُ الَّذِي رَوَى ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ هُوَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ مَوْلَى بَنِي جُمَحٍ  

he said: "I said to Abu Mahdhurah: 'I am going to Ash-Sham and I am afraid that I will be asked about how you say the Adhan. "'He told me that Abu Mahdhurah said to him, I went out with a group of people and we were somewhere on the road to Hunain when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was coming back from Hunain. The Messenger of Allah met us somewhere on the road and the Muadhdhin of the Messenger of Allah called the Adhan for prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We heard the voice of the Muadh'dhin and we were careless about it (the Adhan), so we started yelling, immitating and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to stand in front of him. He said, 'Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?' The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: 'Stand up and call the Adhan for the Prayer.' I stood up and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me the Adhan himself. He Said, 'Say: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah (Allah is the Greatest,Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah,I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah).' Then he said: 'Then repeat and say in a loud voice:Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'ala-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; La ilaha ill-Allah (I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; come to prosperity, come to prosperity; Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; there is none worthy of worship except Allah).' Then he called me when I had finished saying the Adhan, and he gave me a bundle in which there was some silver. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, let me be the one doing the Adhan in Makkah.' He said: 'I command you to do so.' Then I came to 'Attab bin Asid who was the governor of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Makkah, and I called the Adhan for prayer with him upon the orders of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."

"When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left Hunain, I was the tenth of a group of ten of the people of Makkah who were trying to catch up with them. We heard them calling the Adhan for the prayer and we started to repeat the Adhan, mocking them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'I heard among these people the Adhan of one who has a beautiful voice.' He sent for us, and we recited the Adhan one by one, and I was the last of them. When I said the Adhan, he said: 'Come here.' He sat me down in front of him and rubbed my forelock and blessed me three times, then he said, 'Go and give the Adhan at the sacred House.' I said: 'How, O Messenger of Allah?' He taught me as you say the Adhan now: 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar; Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah; Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah, Ashhadu anna Muhammadan Rasulallah; Hayya 'alas-salah, Hayya 'ala-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah Hayya 'alal-falah; as-salatu khairun min an-nawm;as-salatu khairun min an-nawm; (Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger Allah; I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to prayer, come to prayer; come to prosperity, come to prosperity; prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep)' - in the first (Adhan) for As-Subh (Fajr).

"Abdul-'Aziz bin 'Abdul-Malik bin Abu Mahdhurah narrated from 'Abdullah bin muhairiz who was an orphan under the care of Abu Mahdhurah bin mi'yar that when he was preparing him to travel to Sham, he said: 'O my uncle, I am going out to Sham, and I will be asked about how you started the Adhan.' So he informed me that. Abu Mahdhurah said: 'I went out with a group of people, and we were somewhere on the road, when the Mu'adh-dhin of the Messenger of Allah gave the call to prayer in the presence of the Messenger of Allah. We heard the voice of the Mu'adh-dhin, and we were shunning it (the Adhan), so we started yelling, imitating it and mocking it. The Messenger of Allah heard us, so he sent some people who brought us to sit in front of him. He said: 'Who is the one whose voice I heard so loud?' The people all pointed to me, and they were telling the truth. He sent them all away, but kept me there and said to me: 'Stand up and give the call to prayer.' I stood up and there was nothing more hateful to me than the Messenger of Allah and what he was telling me to do. I stood up in front of the Messenger of Allah and the Messenger of Allah himself taught me the call. He said: "Say: 'Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah (Allah is the Most great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great, Allah is the most Great; I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).'" Then he said: "Raise your voice (and say). Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah, Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah; Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah, Ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah; Hayya 'alal-salah, Hayya 'alal-salah; Hayya 'alal-falah, Hayya 'alal-falah; Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar; La ilaha illallah (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah; I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; Come to the Prayer, Come to the Prayer; Come to the prosperity, Come to the prosperity; Allah is the Most great, Allah is the Most Great; None has the right to be worshipped but Allah).'" Then he called me when I had finished saying the Adhan, and gave me a small bag in which there was some silver. Then he put his hand on the forelock of Abu Mahdhurah, then passed it over his face, then over his chest, and over his heart, until the hand of the Messenger of Allah reached his navel. Then the Messenger of Allah said: 'May Allah bless you and send blessings upon you.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, do you command me to give the call to prayer in Makkah?' He said: 'Yes, I command you (to do so).' Then all the hatred I had felt towards the Messenger of Allah disappeared, and was replaced with love for the Messenger of Allah. I came to 'Attab bin Asid, the governor of the Messenger of Allah in Makkah, and gave the call to prayer with him by command of the Messenger of Allah." (Sahih)He ('Abdul-'Aziz) said: "Someone who met Abu Mahdhurah told me the same as 'Abdullah bin Muhairiz told me." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 708)   

أَخْبَرَهُ وَكَانَ يَتِيمًا فِي حِجْرِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ حَتَّى جَهَّزَهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ أَيْ عَمِّ إِنِّي خَارِجٌ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَإِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ أُسْأَلَ عَنْ تَأْذِينِكَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي فَقَالَ نَعَمْ خَرَجْتُ فِي نَفَرٍ فَكُنَّا بِبَعْضِ طَرِيقِ حُنَيْنٍ فَقَفَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ حُنَيْنٍ فَلَقِيَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَأَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ بِالصَّلَاةِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعْنَا صَوْتَ الْمُؤَذِّنِ وَنَحْنُ مُتَنَكِّبُونَ فَصَرَخْنَا نَحْكِيهِ وَنَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِ فَسَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا إِلَى أَنْ وَقَفْنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّكُمُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهُ قَدِ ارْتَفَعَ فَأَشَارَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ إِلِيَّ وَصَدَّقُوا فَأَرْسَلَ كُلَّهُمْ وَحَبَسَنِي فَقَالَ قُمْ فَأَذِّنْ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقُمْتُ وَلَا شَيْءَ أَكْرَهُ إِلِيَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَا مِمَّا يَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَلْقَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ التَّأْذِينَ هُوَ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ قُلِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي ارْجِعْ فَامْدُدْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ حِيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حِيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ حِيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحَ حِيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحَ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ثُمَّ دَعَانِي حِينَ قَضَيْتُ التَّأْذِينَ فَأَعْطَانِي صُرَّةً فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى نَاصِيَةِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَّهَا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَيْنَ ثَدْيَيْهِ ثُمَّ عَلَى كَبِدِهِ ثُمَّ بَلَغَتْ يَدُهُ سُرَّةَ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مُرْنِي بِالتَّأْذِينِ بِمَكَّةَ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ وَذَهَبَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ كَرَاهِيَةٍ وَعَادَ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ مَحَبَّةً لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَدِمْتُ عَلَى عَتَّابِ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ عَامِلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَذَّنْتُ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ وَأَخْبَرَنِي بِذَلِكَ مَنْ أَدْرَكْتُ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ مُحَيْرِيزٍ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَأَدْرَكْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ يُؤَذِّنُ كَمَا حَكَى ابْنُ مُحَيْرِيزٍ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُحَيْرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعْنَى مَا حَكَى ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ وَبِمَعْنَاهُ  

[Machine] I went out with ten young men with the Prophet ﷺ to Hunayn. They called for prayer, and we stood there making fun of them. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring me those boys." They called for prayer, and I was one of them with a loud voice. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, this is the voice that I heard. Go and call the people of Makkah for prayer, and tell 'Attab ibn Usayd that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me to call the people of Makkah for prayer." He said, "Say, 'Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar. Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah.' Say it twice. Then, say, 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah, ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasulullah.' Say it twice. Say, 'Hayya 'ala as-salah, hayya 'ala al-falah.' Say it twice. Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, la ilaha illallah.' Then, when you establish the prayer, say it twice. The prayer has been established, the prayer has been established."  

خَرَجْتُ فِي عَشَرَةِ فَتَيَانٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَى حُنَيْنٍ فَأَذَّنُوا وَقُمْنَا َنُؤَذِّنُ مُسْتَهْزِئِينَ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ايْتُونِي بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْفِتْيَانِ فَقَالَ أَذِّنُوا فَأَذَّنُوا وَكُنْتُ أَحَدَّهُمْ صَوْتًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَعَمْ هَذَا الَّذِي سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَهُ اذْهَبْ فَأَذِّنْ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَقُلْ لِعَتَّابِ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ أُؤَذِّنَ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ قُلِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ ارْجِعْ فَقُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ حِيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ حِيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ مَرَّتَيْنِ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ اللهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ فَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ لِلصَّلَاةِ فَقُلْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ  

"خَرَجْتُ في عَشَرَةِ فِتْيَانٍ مَعَ النَّبىِّ ﷺ إِلَى حنين (خَيْبَرَ)، وَهُوَ أَبْغَضُ النَّاسِ إِلَيْنَا، فَأَذَّنُوا، وَكُلَّمَا يُؤَذِّنُ نَسْتَهْزِئُ، فَقَال النَّبِىُّ ﷺ ائْتُونِى بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْفِتْيَانِ، فَقَالَ: أَذِّنُوا، فَكُنْتُ آخِرَهُمْ، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ نَعَمْ، هَذَا الَّذِى سَمِع صَوتَه، اذْهَبْ فَأَذَّنْ لأهْلِ مَكَّةَ، وَقَالَ لِعِتَابِ بْنِ أُسَيْدٍ، أَمَرَنِى أَنْ أُؤَذِّنَ لأهْلِ مَكَةَ، وَمَسحَ عَلَى نَاصِيَتِى، فَقَالَ: قُلْ: الله أكْبَرُ، الله أَكْبَرُ، الله أَكْبَرُ، الله أَكبَرُ، أشْهَدُ أَن لَّا إِلَه إلَّا الله، أَشْهَدُ أَن لَا إِلَهَ إلا الله، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ الله أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمدًا رَسُولُ الله، حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ، حَىَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ، حَىَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، الله أَكْبَرُ، الله أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إلا الله، وإذَا أَذنْتَ بِالأولَى مِنَ الصُّبحِ، فَقُلْ: الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ، وَإِذَا أقَمْتَ: فَقُلْهَا مَرَّتيْنِ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ، سَمِعْت فَكَانَ أبُو مَحْذَورَةَ لَا يَجُزُّ نَاصِيَتَهُ وَلَا يَقْرَبُها, لأنَّ رَسُولَ الله مَسَح عَلَيْهَا".
