Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiHOW TO MAKE A CALL FOR SALAAH
Hadrat Jabir (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAAH’s messenger said to Bilal, when you call the Aazan speak slowly and distinctly as drinking may when you utter the Aqamah speak fluently and give so much time between Azan and Iqama that one who is eating may finish his food and one who is drinking may finish his drink, and one who needs to relieve himself may do so and do not get up to Salaah till you see me doing so. [Tirmizi]
Hadrat Abdur Rahman reports on the authority of his grandfather’s father Hadrat Sa’d (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) who was the mu’azin of ALLAAH’s messenger in the mosque at QABA that ALLAAH’s messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) commanded Bilal (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) to put his fingers in his ears, saying that it made the voice louder. [lbn Majah]
Hadrat Abu Musa al-Ashari (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: I saw Bilal (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) coming from the side of Abtah (a valley) and called the Aazan. When he comes to and
(come to Salaah and come to salvation) he turned his neck to the right and to the left respectively, without moving his chest. [Bukhari]
