Hadith 191

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي , وَجَدِّي جَمِيعًا ، عَنْ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ، أَنَّ َّّرَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَقْعَدَهُ وَأَلْقَى عَلَيْهِ الْأَذَانَ حَرْفًا " . قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : مِثْلَ أَذَانِنَا , قَالَ بِشْرٌ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ فَوَصَفَ الْأَذَانَ بِالتَّرْجِيعِ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ أَبِي مَحْذُورَةَ فِي الْأَذَانِ صَحِيحٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ وَعَلَيْهِ الْعَمَلُ بِمَكَّةَ ، وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الشَّافِعِيِّ .
´Abu Mahdhurah narrated that :` Allah's Messenger sat with him and taught him the Adhan word for word. Ibrahim said, "It is the same as our Adhan." Bishr said: "So I said to him, 'Repeat it to me.' So he described the Adhan with At-Tarjl'."

Hadith Takhrij «سنن النسائی/الأذان 3 (630) ، ( تحفة الأشراف : 12169) (صحیح) (ابو محذورہ رضی الله عنہ کی اس روایت میں الفاظ اذان کا ذکر نہیں ہے، لیکن مجملاً یہ ذکر ہے کہ اذان کو ترجیع کے ساتھ بیان کیا، جب کہ اسی سند سے نسائی میں وارد حدیث میں اذان کے صرف سترہ کلمات کا ذکر ہے، اور اس میں ترجیع کی صراحت نہیں ہے، اس لیے نسائی والا سیاق منکر ہے، کیونکہ صحیح مسلم، سنن نسائی اور ابن ماجہ (708) میں اذان کے کلمات انیس آئے ہیں، دیکھیں مؤلف کی اگلی روایت (192) اور نسائی کی روایت رقم 30 6، 631، 632، 633)»

English Commentary:
1:
To recite the words of the two testimonies (shahadatayn) in the call to prayer (adhan) first twice in a low voice, and then again twice in a loud voice, is called tarji‘.

2:
There is a difference of opinion among the Imams regarding whether tarji‘ is Sunnah in the adhan or not.
The correct view is that both forms of adhan—with tarji‘ and without tarji‘—are permissible, and the narrations regarding tarji‘ are found in the two Sahihs (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim), therefore they are the preferred (rajih) view.
And the claim that “the Companions from whom the narrations of tarji‘ have been reported were being taught, because Abu Mahdhurah radi Allahu anhu, to whom the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam taught this, first recited it in a low voice and then again in a loud voice,” is not correct,
because Abu Mahdhurah continued to give the adhan with tarji‘ in Makkah, and after him, the adhan continued to be given with tarji‘.

Note:
(In the narration of Abu Mahdhurah radi Allahu anhu, the words of the adhan are not mentioned,
but it is mentioned in general terms that the adhan was recited with tarji‘.
Whereas in the hadith reported with the same chain in al-Nasa’i, only seventeen words of the adhan are mentioned,
and there is no explicit mention of tarji‘ in it,
therefore, the version in al-Nasa’i is munkar (rejected),
because in Sahih Muslim,
Sunan al-Nasa’i, and Ibn Majah (708), the words of the adhan are nineteen,
see the author’s next narration (192) and the narrations of al-Nasa’i numbers 306, 631, 632, 633.)
