Sayyiduna al-Sa'ib bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered the third adhan when the number of the people of Madinah had grown; and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had only one mu'adhdhin, and the adhan on Friday was given only when the imam sat down.
