Travellers: do they call the adhan or does the iqamah suffice them?

Muhammad bin Jubayr said: On a journey the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not order the adhan for the prayers; rather he would order only the iqamah, except for the Fajr prayer, in which both the adhan and the iqamah were given.

Nafi' said: During a journey Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would say only the iqamah, except at Fajr, when he would say both the adhan and the iqamah.

Sayyiduna Malik bin al-Huwayrith (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a cousin of mine. He said: "When you two travel, give the adhan and say the iqamah, and let the elder of you lead you in prayer."

Ibn Sirin said: On journeys they used to be ordered to give the adhan and say the iqamah, and that the one among them who knew the most Qur'an should lead them in prayer.

Ibn Sirin said: During a journey the iqamah alone suffices for the other prayers, except for the Fajr prayer, for the Companions used to direct that both the adhan and the iqamah be given in it.

Urwah said: When you are on a journey, give the adhan and say the iqamah; and if you wish, say only the iqamah and do not give the adhan.

Al-Qasim said: The iqamah suffices.

Ibrahim said: When you are in your house or on a journey, the iqamah suffices for you, and if you wish you may also give the adhan. However, the iqamah must be said with each phrase twice.

Abd al-Malik said: Ata was asked whether travellers should give both the adhan and the iqamah. He said: "The iqamah suffices for them, unless the travellers are scattered in different places; then, in order to gather them, both the adhan and the iqamah are to be given."

Abd al-Rahman bin Yazid bin Jabir said: I stayed with Makhul at Dabiq for fifteen days. He would say only the iqamah and would not give the adhan.

Maymun bin Mihran said: If some people are together on a journey and their lodgings are in one place, the iqamah suffices.

Al-Harith said: We were with Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) at Ayn al-Tamr, in the post-house (dar al-barid). He gave the adhan and then said the iqamah. We asked: "What if you were out in the open wilderness?" He said: "This place and that are the same."
