Hadith 629

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، قال : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، قال : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُثَنَّى ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قال : " كَانَ الْأَذَانُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى ، وَالْإِقَامَةُ مَرَّةً مَرَّةً ، إِلَّا أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ : قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، قَدْ قَامَتِ الصَّلَاةُ " .
´It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said:` "At the time of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W) the phrases of the Adhan were said twice and the phrases of the Iqamah were said once, except that you should say: 'Qad Qamatis-Salah, Qad Qamatis-Salah (prayer is about to begin, prayer is about to begin).'"

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
669. Commentary: This would have been an occasional occurrence, for example: due to eating or sleep; otherwise, the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) were usually present in the mosque beforehand. (For the discussion on the iqamah, see Hadith: 629 and the introduction of this very book.)

510. Commentary:
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) would generally arrive at the mosque before the iqamah and wait for the prayer. However, if by chance someone was delayed, upon hearing the iqamah, he would quickly perform ablution (wudu) and come for the prayer.
