حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُ النِّدَاءَ فَقُولُوا مِثْلَ ما يَقُولُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Whenever you hear the Adhan, say what the Muadh-dhin is saying.”

আবূ সা‘ঈদ খুদরী (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ যখন তোমরা আযান শুনতে পাও তখন মুআয্যিন যা বলে তোমরাও তাই বলবে।

ہم سے عبداللہ بن یوسف تنیسی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہمیں امام مالک نے ابن شہاب زہری سے خبر دی، انہوں نے عطاء بن یزید لیثی سے، انہوں نے ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ عنہ سے، انہوں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے کہ جب تم اذان سنو تو جس طرح مؤذن کہتا ہے اسی طرح تم بھی کہو۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin Yusuf] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Malik] dari [Ibnu Syihab] dari ['Atha bin Yazid Al Laitsi] dari [Abu Sa'id Al Khudri], bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Apabila kalian mendengar adzan, maka jawablah seperti apa yang diucapkan mu'adzin

Ebu Saîd el-Hudrî (r.a.) Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in şöyle buyurduğunu nakletmiştir: "Ezan'ı işittiğiniz zaman, müezzinin söylediklerini tekrarlayın!'' Diğer tahric: Tirmizi Salat; Nesâî, Ezan

Sahih al-Bukhari 611, Book 10, Call to Prayers (Adhaan), Hadith 9. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) is urging us here to respond to the Muezzin on hearing him by repeating what he says word for word. So, when he says: "Allāhu Akbar" (Allah is the Greatest), we should say: "Allāhu Akbar" after him; and when he pronounces the two testimonies of faith, we should pronounce them after him.

The only exception is when he says: "Hayy ‘ala as-salāh, hayy ‘ala al-falāh" (Come to prayer, come to success), we should say: "La hawla wala quwwata illa billāh" (There is no might or power except through Allah).

What it teaches

  • After the first Muezzin finishes the Adhan, one should repeat after the second one, even if there are multiple Muezzins, given the general indication of the Hadīth.
  • One should respond to the Muezzin in all situations unless he is in the bathroom or answering the call of nature.
