´It was narrated from 'Awn bin Abu Juhaifah that his father said:` "I came to the Messenger of Allah in Abtah, when he was in a red tent. Bilal came out and gave the call to prayer, turning around and putting his fingers in his ears."

Commentary:
(1)
Even while traveling, the call to prayer (adhan) should be given for performing prayer in congregation.
(2)
Turning around during the adhan means that when saying "Hayya 'ala as-salah" and "Hayya 'ala al-falah," the face should be turned to the right and left sides.
(3)
This contains evidence for inserting the fingers into the ears while giving the adhan.
