Commencement of Adhan, Iqamah, and the Excellence of Reading them

34ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ مُؤَذِّناً أَعَادَ فِي الشَّهَادَةِ وَفِي حَيَّ عَلَى الصَّلاَةِ أَوْ حَيَّ عَلَى الْفَلاَحِ الْمَرَّتَيْنِ وَالثَّلاَثَ وَأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا كَانَ إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ بِهِ جَمَاعَةَ الْقَوْمِ لِيَجْمَعَهُمْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِهِ بَأْسٌ.
34. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir from who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If when saying Adhan one repeats the phrases of the ‘testimonies’ or ‘come to Salah (prayer)’ or ‘to salvation’ three times or more with the intention of calling people to come together, it is not harmful.’”
