The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins

وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ اَلْأَذَانِ أَنْ يَفْتَتِحَ اَللَّيْلَ بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَةٍ وَ يَفْتَتِحَ اَلنَّهَارَ بِأَذَانٍ وَ إِقَامَةٍ وَ يُجْزِيكَ فِي سَائِرِ اَلصَّلاَةِ إِقَامَةٌ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ.
Zurarah narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام that He said: "The minimum that suffices for the adhan is to begin the night with an adhan and iqamah and to begin the day with an adhan and iqamah. For the other prayers during the day, an iqamah without an adhan suffices."
