Hadith 2779
عَنِ السَّائِبِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أُخْتِ نَمِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَمْ يَكُنْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا مُؤَذِّنٌ وَاحِدٌ فِي الصَّلَوَاتِ كُلِّهَا فِي الْجُمُعَةِ وَغَيْرِهَا يُؤَذِّنُ وَيُقِيمُ، قَالَ: كَانَ بِلَالٌ يُؤَذِّنُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيُقِيمُ إِذَا نَزَلَ وَلِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا حَتَّى كَانَ عُثْمَانُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’ib bin Yazid, he says: For all prayers including Jumu’ah, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had one muezzin; he would give the adhan and also say the iqamah. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would sit on the pulpit on the day of Jumu’ah, then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) would give the adhan, and when he would descend, then he would say the iqamah. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) also had (only one muezzin), until the era of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived.
Hadith 2780
(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ:) كَانَ الْأَذَانُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَذَانٌ حَتَّى كَانَ زَمَنُ عُثْمَانَ فَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ فَأَمَرَ بِالْأَذَانِ الْأَوَّلِ بِالزَّوْرَاءِ
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'ib (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), there used to be two calls to prayer (adhan), until the era of Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came and the people increased in number, so he ordered the first adhan to be given at Zawra.
Hadith 2781
عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يُسْنِدُ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ قَالَ ابْنُولِي مِنْبَرًا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَهُمْ فَبَنَوْا لَهُ عَتَبَتَيْنِ فَتَحَوَّلَ مِنَ الْخَشَبَةِ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، قَالَ: فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْخَشَبَةَ تَحِنُّ حَنِينَ الْوَالِحِ قَالَ فَمَا زَالَتْ تَحِنُّ حَتَّى نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ فَمَشَى إِلَيْهَا فَاحْتَضَنَهَا فَسَكَنَتْ
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would deliver the sermon on Friday, he would lean his back against a piece of wood, but when the people increased in number, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Prepare a pulpit for me. His (peace and blessings be upon him) intention was that he could make his words heard to them. So the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) prepared a pulpit with two steps for him (peace and blessings be upon him), then he (peace and blessings be upon him) moved to this wooden pulpit. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) informed that he heard a sound like the crying of someone extremely saddened from (that first) piece of wood; it kept crying continuously until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) descended from the pulpit, went to it, and embraced it, so it became silent.
Hadith 2782
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ هَٰذِهِ السَّارِيَةِ وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جِذْعُ نَخْلَةٍ يَعْنِي يَخْطُبُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver sermons beside this pillar, when it was just a trunk of a date-palm.
