Hadith 400

نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي صَفْوَانَ الْعَلِيُّ ، نا بَهْزٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَسَدٍ ، نا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُغِيرُ عِنْدَ صَلاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا أَمْسَكَ ، وَإِلا أَغَارَ ، فَاسْتَمَعَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلا ، يَقُولُ : اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، فَقَالَ : " عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ " ، فَقَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ ، قَالَ : " خَرَجْتَ مِنَ النَّارِ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : فَإِذَا كَانَ الْمَرْءُ يَطْمَعُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ لِلَّهِ فِي الأَذَانِ ، وَهُوَ يَرْجُو أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ بِالشَّهَادَةِ بِاللَّهِ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ فِي أَذَانِهِ ، فَيَنْبَغِي لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَتَسَارَعَ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْفَضِيلَةِ طَمَعًا فِي أَنْ يُخَلِّصَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ ، خَلا فِي مَنْزِلِهِ أَوْ فِي بَادِيَةٍ أَوْ قَرْيَةٍ أَوْ مَدِينَةٍ ، طَلَبًا لِهَذِهِ الْفَضِيلَةِ ، وَقَدْ خَرَّجْتُ أَبْوَابَ الأَذَانِ فِي السَّفَرِ أَيْضًا فِي مَوَاضِعَ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ ، فِي نَوْمِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ صَلاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ ، وَأَمْرُهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِلالا بِالأَذَانِ لِلصُّبْحِ بَعْدَ ذَهَابِ وَقْتِ تِلْكَ الصَّلاةِ ، وَتِلْكَ الأَخْبَارُ أَيْضًا خِلافُ قَوْلِ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنْ لا يُؤَذَّنَ لِلصَّلاةِ بَعْدَ ذَهَابِ وَقْتِهَا ، وَإِنَّمَا يُقَامُ لَهَا بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would attack (the settlements of the enemy) at the time of the morning prayer. Then, if he heard the sound of the adhan, he would refrain (from attacking), and if he did not hear the sound of the adhan, he would attack. So, one day the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard a man saying: « اللہُ أَکبَرُ، اللہُ أَکبَرُ » "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "He is upon the natural disposition of Islam." Then the man said: « أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ » "I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "He has been saved from the fire of Hell." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when a person desires to proclaim and bear witness to the oneness of Allah in the adhan, and he hopes that by bearing witness to the oneness of Allah in his adhan, Allah will grant him salvation from the fire of Hell, then every believer should hasten to attain this virtue with this desire and hope that Allah will save him from the fire. Whether he is alone in his house, or in the wilderness, or alone in a town or city, he should give the adhan to attain this virtue and reward. I have explained the chapters of adhan during travel in several places besides this one (for example), when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) overslept the morning prayer until the sun had risen, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ordered Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to give the adhan for the morning prayer even though its time had ended. These ahadith are contrary to the statement of those people who claim that after the time of prayer has ended, adhan should not be given for it, but only iqamah should be said without adhan.
