Those who disliked the muezzin calling the adhan before dawn

Shaddad said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), gesturing with his hand, said to Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him): "Do not give the adhan until you see the light like this."

Suwayd said: Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) would not give the adhan until the dawn had become bright.

Ata said: Sayyiduna Abu Mahdhurah (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the adhan for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he would not give the adhan before the dawn rose.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Companions would not give the adhan until the dawn rose.

Ibrahim said: We set out with Alqamah towards Makkah. During the night he heard a mu'adhdhin giving the adhan and said: "This man has gone against the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Had he been asleep, it would have been better for him; then, when the dawn rose, he would give the adhan."

Ibrahim disliked giving the adhan before dawn.

Ubaydullah said: I asked Nafi': Did the Companions use to give the adhan before dawn? He said: The adhan was only ever given with the dawn.

Al-Hasan said: In the time of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), people were in doubt about whether dawn had risen, so Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered his mu'adhdhin, and he called the iqamah for the prayer.

Amir said: The adhan for a prayer is not to be given until its time has entered.
