باب الأَذَانِ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى وَالإِقَامَةُ مَرَّةً:Chapter: Adhan in Pairs, Iqamah Once
Hadith 1229
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي قِلابَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، نَحْوَهُ.
It is narrated in a similar manner from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 1225 to 1229)
From all these authentic narrations, it is established that the words of the adhan should be said twice each, and the words of the iqamah should be said once each, because the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) commanded Sayyiduna Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) to do so. In some narrations, it is reported that the words of the iqamah (i.e., the takbir) should also be said twice each like the adhan, but the narration of saying the iqamah singly is more authentic and agreed upon.
And Allah knows best.
