Narrated ‘Abdul Rahman:
Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri told my father, “I see you liking sheep and the wilderness. So whenever you
are with your sheep or in the wilderness and you want to pronounce Adhan for the prayer raise your
voice in doing so, for whoever hears the Adhan, whether a human being, a jinn or any other
creature, will be a witness for you on the Day of Resurrection.” Abu Said added, “I heard it (this nar –
ration) from Allah’s Apostle.”
Volume 1, Book 11, Number 584:
Narrated Humaid:
Anas bin Malik said, “Whenever the Prophet went out with us to fight (in Allah’s cause) against
any nation, he never allowed us to attack till morning and he would wait and see: if he heard Adhan
he would postpone the attack and if he did not hear Adhan he would attack them.” Anas added, “We
reached Khaibar at night and in the morning when he did not hear the Adhan for the prayer, he (the
Prophet ) rode and I rode behind Abi Talha and my foot was touching that of the Prophet.
The inhabitants of Khaibar came out with their baskets and spades and when they saw the Prophet
they shouted ‘Muhammad! By Allah, Muhammad and his army.’ When Allah’s Apostle saw them, he
said, “Allahu-Akbar! Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to
fight), then evil will be the morning of those who have been warned.”

man mahmudan-il-ladhi wa’ adtahu (O Allah! Lord of this perfect call (of not ascribing partners to
You) and of the regular prayer which is going to be established! Kindly give Muhammad the right of

its stated time) they would race for it (go early) and if they knew the reward of ‘Isha’ and Fajr (morn –
ing) prayers in congregation, they would come to offer them even if they had to crawl.”

ordered him to say ‘Pray at your homes.’ The people began to look at each other (surprisingly). Ibn
‘Abbas said. “It was done by one who was much better than I (i.e. the Prophet or his Mu’adhdhin),
and it is a license.’
