The Book of Prayer

at-Tirmidhi has reported something similar, narrated by Ibn 'Umar, without mentioning the midtime. [It is Da'if (weak) too].

وَلِلتِّرْمِذِيِّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ نَحْوُهُ, دُونَ اَلْأَوْسَطِ, وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ أَيْضًا [1]‏

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "There is no Salat (i.e. voluntary prayer) after the break of dawn except Sajdatain (Sunnah of Fajr)." [Reported by al-Khamsah except an-Nasa'i].

وَعَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-قَالَ: { لَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ اَلْفَجْرِ إِلَّا سَجْدَتَيْنِ } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ, إِلَّا النَّسَائِيُّ [1]‏ .‏

In another narration :

'Abdur-Razzaq also narrated: "There is no Salat (voluntary prayer) after the break of dawn ecept the two (Sunnah) Rak'a of Fajr."

وَفِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اَلرَّزَّاقِ: { لَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ اَلْفَجْرِ إِلَّا رَكْعَتَيْ اَلْفَجْرِ } [1]‏ .‏

A narration of ad-Daraqutni narrated by Amr bin al-'Aas is similar to the one above.

وَمِثْلُهُ لِلدَّارَقُطْنِيّ عَنْ اِبْنِ عَمْرِوِ بْنِ اَلْعَاصِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Umm Salamah (RA):

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to my house after offering 'Asr prayer and offered two Rak'a, then I asked him about that and he replied, "I was kept busy (and failed to pray) the two (Sunnah) Rak'a after Zuhr prayer, so I offered them now." I asked him, "Should we offer them if we miss them?" He (ﷺ) replied, "No." [Reported by Ahmad].

وَعَنْ أَمْ سَلَمَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: { صَلَّى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-اَلْعَصْرَ, ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَيْتِي, فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ, فَسَأَلْتُهُ, فَقَالَ: "شُغِلْتُ عَنْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ اَلظُّهْرِ, فَصَلَّيْتُهُمَا اَلْآنَ", قُلْتُ: أَفَنَقْضِيهِمَا إِذَا فَاتَتْنَا? قَالَ: "لَا" } أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ [1]‏ .‏

The narration of Abu Dawud from 'Aishah (RA) has the same meaning.

وَلِأَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِمَعْنَاهُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zaid bin Abd-Rabbihi (RA):

A man appeared to me while I was asleep and told me to say, "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great, Allah is the Most Great)" and he mentioned the Adhan with Allahu Akbar four times without Tarji', and the Iqama once except Qad qamat-is-Salah (the prayer stood ready to begin), (he repeated it twice). He ('Abdullah) said when it was morning I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he said, "It is a true vision..." [Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud; at-Tirmidni and Ibn Khuzaimah graded it Sahih (authentic)].

عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { طَافَ بِي ‏-وَأَنَا نَائِمٌ‏- رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: تَقُولُ: "اَللَّهُ أَكْبَرَ اَللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ, فَذَكَرَ اَلْآذَانَ ‏- بِتَرْبِيع اَلتَّكْبِيرِ بِغَيْرِ تَرْجِيعٍ, وَالْإِقَامَةَ فُرَادَى, إِلَّا قَدْ قَامَتِ اَلصَّلَاةُ ‏- قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-فَقَالَ: "إِنَّهَا لَرُؤْيَا حَقٍّ.‏.‏.‏" } اَلْحَدِيثَ.‏ أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ, وَابْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ [1]‏ .‏

Ahmad added to the end of the above Hadith, the story of BIlal's statement in the Fajr Adhan (morning prayer call):

as-Salatu khairun minan-nawm - "Prayer is better than sleep".

وَزَادَ أَحْمَدُ فِي آخِرِهِ قِصَّةَ قَوْلِ بِلَالٍ فِي آذَانِ اَلْفَجْرِ: { اَلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اَلنَّوْمِ } [1]‏ .‏

Ibn Khuzaimah reported from Anas (RA):

"It is from the Sunnah that when the Mu'adhadhin says [in the first Adhan of] Fajr (prayer time): 'Haiya 'alal-Falah (Come to the success)', he says (also) 'as-Salatu khairun minan-nawm (Prayer is better than sleep).'"

وَلِابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ: عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: { مِنْ اَلسُّنَّةِ إِذَا قَالَ اَلْمُؤَذِّنُ فِي اَلْفَجْرِ: حَيٌّ عَلَى اَلْفَلَاحِ, قَالَ: اَلصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اَلنَّوْمِ } [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Mahdhura (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) taught him the Adhan (call to prayer) and he (the narrator) mentioned the Tarji' in it. [Muslim reported it, but mentioned the phrase (Takbir) "Allah is the Most Great" at its beginning just twice.

عَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-عَلَّمَهُ اَلْآذَانَ, فَذَكَرَ فِيهِ اَلتَّرْجِيعَ } أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ.‏ وَلَكِنْ ذَكَرَ اَلتَّكْبِيرَ فِي أَوَّلِهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَطْ [1]‏ .‏

al-Khamsah reported it, but mentioned the Takbir four times.

وَرَوَاهُ اَلْخَمْسَةُ فَذَكَرُوهُ مُرَبَّعًا [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Anas (RA):

Bilal was commanded to announce the Adhan (each phrase) twice and the Iqamah (each phrase) once except "The prayer stood ready to begin" (to be pronounced twice). [Agreed upon; but Muslim did not mentioned the exception].

وَعَنْ أَنَسِ]بْنِ مَالِكٍ] ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { أُمِرَ بِلَالٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ اَلْآذَانَ, وَيُوتِرَ اَلْإِقَامَةَ, إِلَّا اَلْإِقَامَةَ, يَعْنِي قَوْلَهُ: قَدْ قَامَتِ اَلصَّلَاةُ } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ, وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ مُسْلِمٌ اَلِاسْتِثْنَاءَ [1]‏ .‏

A narration of an-Nasa'i has:

"Bilal was ordered by the Prophet (ﷺ)."

وَلِلنَّسَائِيِّ: { أَمَرَ اَلنَّبِيُّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-بِلَالاً } [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Juhaifa (RA):

I saw Bilal calling for prayer and I would follow (looking at) his mouth (as he turned it) this (right) side and that (left) side with his fingers in his ears. [Reported by Ahmad and at-Tirmidhi who graded it Sahih (authentic)].

وَعَنْ أَبِي جُحَيْفَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- قَالَ: { رَأَيْتُ بِلَالاً يُؤَذِّنُ وَأَتَتَبَّعُ فَاهُ, هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا, وَإِصْبَعَاهُ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَصَحَّحَهُ [1]‏ .‏

In a narration of Ibn Majah - 'and he put his fingers in his ears'.

وَلِابْنِ مَاجَهْ: وَجَعَلَ إِصْبَعَيْهِ فِي أُذُنَيْهِ [1]‏ .‏

And also a narration of Abu Dawud - 'he turned his neck to the right and left when he reached Haiya 'alas-Salah (Come to the prayer) and did not turn his body'.

وَلِأَبِي دَاوُدَ: { لَوَى عُنُقَهُ, لَمَّا بَلَغَ

حَيَّ عَلَى اَلصَّلَاةِ

يَمِينًا وَشِمَالاً وَلَمْ يَسْتَدِرْ } [1]‏ .‏

And its basic meaning is in Sahihain (al-Bukhari and Muslim).

وَأَصْلِهِ فِي اَلصَّحِيحَيْنِ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Mandhura (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) liked his voice, so he taught him the Adhan (call to prayer). [Reported by Ibn Khuzaimah].

وَعَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَعْجَبَهُ صَوْتُهُ, فَعَلَّمَهُ اَلْآذَانَ } رَوَاهُ اِبْنُ خُزَيْمَةَ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Jabir bin Samurah (RA):

I prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) the two 'Eids, not only once or twice, without an Adhan or an Iqamah. [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: { صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ اَلنَّبِيِّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-اَلْعِيدَيْنِ, غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ, بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ [1]‏ .‏

A similar narration is in al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (RA) and others.

وَنَحْوُهُ فِي اَلْمُتَّفَقِ: عَنْ اِبْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا, وَغَيْرُهُ [1]‏ .‏

Narrated Abu Qatadah (RA) in a long Hadith about their (Sahaba) sleeping late past the time of Salat (prayer):

Then Bilal proclaimed the Adhan and the Prophet (ﷺ) offered the prayer (while leading the Companions) as he used to do every day. [Reported by Muslim].

وَعَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةٌ فِي اَلْحَدِيثِ اَلطَّوِيلِ, { فِي نَوْمهُمْ عَنْ اَلصَّلَاةِ ‏- ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ بِلَالٌ, فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-كَمَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ } رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ [1]‏ .‏

Muslim also reported from Jabir (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) came to al-Muzdalifah and offered at it both the Maghrib and 'Isha prayers with one Adhan and two Iqamah.

وَلَهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ; { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-أَتَى اَلْمُزْدَلِفَةَ فَصَلَّى بِهَا اَلْمَغْرِبَ وَالْعِشَاءَ, بِأَذَانٍ وَاحِدٍ وَإِقَامَتَيْنِ } [1]‏ .‏

Muslim also reported from Ibn 'Umar (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) combined the Maghrib and 'Isha prayers with one Iqamah.

وَلَهُ عَنْ اِبْنِ عُمَرَ: { جَمَعَ بَيْنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ وَالْعِشَاءِ بِإِقَامَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ } [1]‏ .‏

Abu Dawud added the words:

"for each prayer".

زَادَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: { لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ } .‏

And in another narration he reported:

The Adhan was not announced for any one of them.

وَفِي رِوَايَةِ لَهُ: { وَلَمْ يُنَادِ فِي وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا } .‏
