حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ

قَالَ أُمِرَ بِلَالٌ أَنْ يَشْفَعَ، الأَذَانَ وَأَنْ يُوتِرَ الإِقَامَةَ إِلاَّ الإِقَامَةَ

Bilal was ordered to repeat the wording of the Adhan for prayers twice, and to pronounce the wording of the Iqama once except “Qad-qamat-is-salat”.

আনাস (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, বিলাল (রাযি.)-কে আযানের শব্দ দু’ দু’বার এবং قَدْقَامَتِ الصَّلاَةُ ব্যতীত ইক্বামাত(ইকামত/একামত)ের শব্দগুলো বেজোড় করে বলার নির্দেশ দেয়া হয়েছিল। (৬০৩)

ہم سے سلیمان بن حرب نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے حماد بن زید نے بیان کیا سماک بن عطیہ سے، انہوں نے ایوب سختیانی سے، انہوں نے ابوقلابہ سے، انہوں نے انس رضی اللہ عنہ سے کہ بلال رضی اللہ عنہ کو حکم دیا گیا کہ اذان کے کلمات دو دو مرتبہ کہیں اور سوا «قد قامت الصلوة» کے تکبیر کے کلمات ایک ایک دفعہ کہیں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Harb] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hammad bin Zaid] dari [Simak bin 'Athiyyah] dari [Ayyub] dari [Abu Qalabah] dari [Anas bin Malik] berkata, "Bilal diperintahkan untuk mengumandangkan kalimat adzan dengan genap (dua kali dua kali) dan mengganjilkan iqamat, kecuali kalimat iqamat 'Qad qaamatish shalah (shalat telah dikumandangkan)

Enes bin Malik (r.a.)'den şöyle nakledilmiştir: Bilal ezanı ikişer ikişer kameti de الإقامة (Ked kametu’s*selah) kısmı hariç teker teker okumakla emrolundu." Diğer tahric: Tirmizi Salat; Dârimî, Namaz

Sahih al-Bukhari 605, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 3. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) commanded his Muezzin, Bilāl (may Allah be pleased with him), to pronounce the Adhān in pairs, because it is meant to draw the attention of those who are absent from the mosque, so its phrases are to be said twice. This excludes the Takbīr in the beginning, as it was authentically reported as being said four times, and the word of Tawḥīd (lā ilāha illā Allah) at the end, as it is authentically reported as being said once.

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) also commanded Bilāl to pronounce the Iqāmah in singles, because it is meant to draw the attention of those in attendance. He was commanded to say each sentence once, except for the Takbīr and "qad qāmat aṣ-ṣalāh" (the prayer has started), as it was authentically reported as being doubled.
