حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَا يُغيِرُ إِلَّا عِنْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ، فَإِنْ سَمِعَ أَذَانًا أَمْسَكَ وَإِلَّا أَغَارَ ، فَاسْتَمَعَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَسَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ : اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، اللهُ أَكْبَرُ ، فَقَالَ : " عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ " ، فَقَالَ : أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ ، فَقَالَ : " خَرَجْتَ مِنَ النَّارِ " ، قَالَ الْحَسَنُ : وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بِهَذَا الَإِسْنَادِ مِثْلَهُ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to attack at the time of Fajr prayer. If he heard the call to prayer, he would stop, otherwise he would attack. One day he listened carefully and heard a man saying: «الله أكبر الله أكبر». The Prophet said: "He is upon the natural religion (Islam)." When the man said «أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله», the Prophet said: "You have been saved from the Hellfire." Hasan says: Abu Al-Walid narrated to us, he said: Hammad bin Salamah narrated to us with this same chain and in a similar manner. © Imam Tirmidhi says:
This hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Explanation & Benefits
Muslim — Hadith 847
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to attack the enemy when it was dawn. He would listen to the Adhan; so if he heard an Adhan, he stopped, otherwise made an attack. Once on hearing a man say: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) remarked: He is following al-Fitra (al-Islam). Then hearing him say: I testify that there is no god but Allah. there is no god but Allah, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: You have come out of the Fire (of Hell). They looked at him and found that he was a goatherd.
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The sound of the call to prayer (adhan) coming from a village or settlement is evidence that its inhabitants are Muslim. Therefore, an attack should not be carried out on such a settlement. A shepherd's testimony to the oneness of Allah is proof of his being a Muslim. Upon this testimony, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave him the glad tidings of being saved from the Fire. This has no connection to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) possessing knowledge of the unseen (al-ghayb).

Abu Dawud — Hadith 2634
Anas said “The Prophet ﷺ used to attack at the time of the dawn prayer and hear. If he heard a call to prayer, he would refrain from them, otherwise would attack (them).
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The hearing of the adhan (call to prayer) is an indication that the inhabitants of that place are Muslims.
Therefore, they were not attacked.
The absence of the sound of the adhan is an indication that the inhabitants of that place are not Muslims.
Hence, they would be attacked.
