بَابُ : إِفْرَادِ الإِقَامَةِChapter: Saying The Phrases Of The Iqamah Once
Hadith 729
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " الْتَمَسُوا شَيْئًا يُؤْذِنُونَ بِهِ عِلْمًا لِلصَّلَاةِ ، فَأُمِرَ بِلَالٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ الْأَذَانَ ، وَيُوتِرَ الْإِقَامَةَ " .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` "They looked for something by means of which they could call out informing of (the time of) the prayer. Then Bilal was commanded to say the phrases of the Adhan twice and the phrases of the Iqamah once."

Brief Explanation
1؎ : From this hadith it is established that if the phrases of the iqamah are said once each, it is sufficient, because the iqamah is only to inform those present, and there is no need for repetition in it. And the hadith of Abdullah bin Zayd radi Allahu anhu (recorded by Tahawi and Ibn Abi Shaybah) is that the angel gave the adhan twice each and said the iqamah twice each as well. However, from this it does not follow that saying the phrases of the iqamah once each is not sufficient. According to the hadith scholars (muhaddithin), both practices are permissible; they have not contradicted any hadith. But this objection stands against the Hanafis: if the narrations regarding the singular phrases in the iqamah are authentic, then why do they not consider the singular form permissible?

Hadith Commentary:
Igniting fire or ringing a bell to call people for worship is still the practice of most religions today.
Islam disliked this method and instead established the best way of the call to prayer (adhan), which is proclaimed aloud in the open sky five times a day. In it, there is an ecstatic proclamation of the creed of monotheism (tawhid) and prophethood (risalah), and Muslims are called to worship in the best of words.
In the narration, there is mention of the Jews and Christians; this is the relevance to the chapter.
In the narration, the mention of saying the takbir (Allahu Akbar) once is present in clear words, but in this era, most of our fellow Muslims express strong aversion upon hearing the single takbir, which is clear evidence of their ignorance. The single takbir is a Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam); to deny it is by no means permissible. May Allah Most High grant our respected brothers the ability to remove such wrongful prejudice from their hearts.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
Lighting fire for worship or ringing a bell is still the practice of most religions today.
A few years ago, drums (naqara) could be seen in mosques, which were played at the time of Jumu‘ah and for iftar.
This too was an unconscious imitation of the Jews, which gradually came to an end.
➋
Islam has established the best method for calling to worship and prayer, which is the adhan, proclaimed aloud five times a day. In it, the doctrine of tawhid (oneness of Allah) and risalah (messengership) is repeatedly announced.
➌
In this narration, one aspect of the Jews and Christians has been highlighted; therefore, Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has mentioned this hadith under the circumstances of Bani Isra’il.
