موطا امام مالك رواية يحييٰ
Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Yahya)
كتاب الصلاةBook: On the Explanation of Prayer
بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي النِّدَاءِ لِلصَّلَاةِChapter on what is reported regarding the call to prayer
Hadith 151B3
وَسُئِلَ مَالِك ، عَنْ قَوْمٍ حُضُورٍ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَجْمَعُوا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ فَأَرَادُوا أَنْ يُقِيمُوا وَلَا يُؤَذِّنُوا ، قَالَ مَالِك: ذَلِكَ مُجْزِئٌ عَنْهُمْ ، وَإِنَّمَا يَجِبُ النِّدَاءُ فِي مَسَاجِدِ الْجَمَاعَاتِ الَّتِي تُجْمَعُ فِيهَا الصَّلَاةُ .
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: If a few resident people intend to perform the obligatory prayer in congregation, is it sufficient to only say the iqamah (takbir), or is giving the adhan also necessary? Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) replied: Saying the iqamah (takbir) is sufficient. And the adhan is obligatory in those mosques where prayer is performed in congregation.
