Volume 2, Book 13, Number 35:
Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:
In the life-time of the Prophet, Abu Bakr and Umar, the Adhan for the Jumua prayer used to be
pronounced when the Imam sat on the pulpit. But during the Caliphate of ‘Uthman when the
Muslims increased in number, a third Adhan at Az-Zaura’ was added. Abu ‘Abdullah said, “Az-
Zaura’ is a place in the market of Medina.”

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 36:
Narrated As-Saib bin Yazid:
The person who increased the number of Adhans for the Jumua prayers to three was Uthman bin
Affan and it was when the number of the (Muslim) people of Medina had increased. In the life-time
of the Prophet I there was only one Muadh-dhin and the Adhan used to be pronounced only after
the Imam had taken his seat (i.e. on the pulpit).
Volume 1, Book 4, Number 189:
Narrated As-Sa’ib bin Yazid:
My aunt took me to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! This son of my sister has got a disease
in his legs.” So he passed his hands on my head and prayed for Allah’s blessings for me; then he per –
formed ablution and I drank from the remaining water. I stood behind him and saw the seal of
Prophethood between his shoulders, and it was like the “Zir-al-Hijla” (means the button of a small
tent, but some said ‘egg of a partridge.’ etc.)
