اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ , وَعَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ السَّائِبِ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، وَأُمُّ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ،عَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، نَحْوَ هَذَا الْخَبَرِ ، وَفِيهِ : الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ ، الصَّلَاةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ النَّوْمِ فِي الْأُولَى مِنَ الصُّبْحِ ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَحَدِيثُ مُسَدَّدٍ أَبْيَنُ ، قَالَ فِيهِ : قَالَ : وَعَلَّمَنِي الْإِقَامَةَ مَرَّتَيْنِ مَرَّتَيْنِ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ ، حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلَاحِ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ : وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ الصَّلاةَ ، فَقُلْهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ : قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، أَسَمِعْتَ ؟ قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَبُو مَحْذُورَةَ لَا يَجُزُّ نَاصِيَتَهُ وَلَا يَفْرُقُهَا ، لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَسَحَ عَلَيْهَا .
Abu Mahdhurah also narrated this tradition from the prophet ﷺ to the same effect through a different chain of transmitters. This version has the additional wordings. The phrases “prayer is better than sleep, prayer is better than sleep” are to be pronounced in the first ADHAN (i. e., not in Iqamah) of the morning prayer. Abu Dawud said; The version narrated by Musaddad is more clear. It reads: He (the prophet) taught me IQAMAH (to pronounce each phrase) twice: Allah is most great. Allah is most great. I testify that there is no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah: come to prayer, come to prayer: come to salvation, come to salvation: Allah is most great. Allah is great; there is no god but Allah. Abu Dawud said: The narrator Abd al-Razzaq said; You pronounce IQAMAH for announcing the prayer; you must say twice: the time for prayer has come, the time for prayer has come. (The Prophet said to Abu Mahdhurah): did you listen (to me)? Abu Mahdhurah would not have the hair of his forehead cut, nor would he separate them (from him) because the Prophet ﷺ wiped over them.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
501. Commentary:
➊ If the adhan with tarjeeh (repetition) of Abu Mahdhurah radi Allahu anhu is performed, then the takbir (Allahu Akbar) will be recited twice each time, just as in the adhan of Bilal radi Allahu anhu. If the adhan is like that of Bilal radi Allahu anhu, i.e., without tarjeeh, then the takbir will be recited once each time, as has been mentioned earlier.
➋ In the most authentic narration of the present hadith, the words «الله اكبر» occur four times.
➌ According to the research of Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, the practice attributed to Abu Mahdhurah radi Allahu anhu—that he would not cut the hair of his forehead or would not part it—is neither authentic nor established.
