Chapter 10 · Call to Prayers (Adhaan)
Sahih

مَنْ قَالَ لِيُؤَذِّنْ فِي السَّفَرِ مُؤَذِّنٌ وَاحِدٌ

Whoever says that on a journey a single caller should call the adhan

أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِي فَأَقَمْنَا عِنْدَهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً، وَكَانَ رَحِيمًا رَفِيقًا، فَلَمَّا رَأَى شَوْقَنَا إِلَى أَهَالِينَا قَالَ " ارْجِعُوا فَكُونُوا فِيهِمْ وَعَلِّمُوهُمْ وَصَلُّوا، فَإِذَا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلْيُؤَذِّنْ لَكُمْ أَحَدُكُمْ وَلْيَؤُمَّكُمْ أَكْبَرُكُمْ ".

حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحُوَيْرِثِ،

Translation

Malik ibn al-Huwayrith reported: I came to the Prophet ﷺ with a group of my people, and we stayed with him for twenty nights. He was merciful and kind, and when he saw our longing for our families, he said, “Go back and be among them, teach them and pray. When the time of prayer comes, let one of you call the adhan for you, and let the eldest of you lead you in prayer.”

Malik ibn al-Huwairith berichtete: Ich kam mit einer Gruppe von meinem Volk zum Propheten ﷺ, und wir blieben zwanzig Nächte bei ihm. Er war barmherzig und gütig. Als er unsere Sehnsucht nach unseren Familien sah, sagte er: „Kehrt zurück, seid unter ihnen, lehrt sie und betet. Wenn die Zeit des Gebets gekommen ist, soll einer von euch für euch zum Gebet rufen, und der Älteste von euch soll euch vorbeten.“

Türkçe

Mâlik b. Huveyris (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Kavmimden bir grupla birlikte Nebî'ye ﷺ geldim ve yanında yirmi gece kaldık. O, merhametli ve yumuşak huyluydu. Ailelerimize olan özlemimizi görünce şöyle buyurdu: “Dönün, onların arasında olun, onlara öğretin ve namaz kılın. Namaz vakti gelince içinizden biri size ezan okusun, en büyüğünüz de size imam olsun.”
