The Call to Prayer and the Establishment of Prayer and the Reward of the Muezzins
وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «كَانَ اِسْمُ اَلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يُكَرَّرُ فِي اَلْأَذَانِ فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ حَذَفَهُ اِبْنُ أَرْوَى. وَ رُوِيَ: «أَنَّهُ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا أَذَّنَ اَلْمُؤَذِّنُ يَوْمَ اَلْجُمُعَةِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ حُرِّمَ اَلْبَيْعُ لِقَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «يٰا أَيُّهَا اَلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذٰا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاٰةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ اَلْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلىٰ ذِكْرِ اَللّٰهِ وَ ذَرُوا اَلْبَيْعَ» »
Imam عليه السلام said: "The name of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم used to be repeated in the adhan (call to prayer), and the first one to remove it was Ibn Arwa." It is also reported: "In Medina, when the mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) would make the adhan on Jumu’ah, a caller would announce that trading was forbidden due to the statement of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted: 'O’ you who believe, when the call is made for prayer on the day of Jumu’ah, hasten to the remembrance of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and leave off trade.'" (Surah Al-Jumu'ah 62:9)
