Chapter on the Number of Phrases in the Adhan and Iqamah, and Their Description
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ نَجْرَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ:« يَا زُرَارَةُ تَفْتَتِحُ اَلْأَذَانَ بِأَرْبَعِ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَتَخْتِمُهُ بِتَكْبِيرَتَيْنِ وَ تَهْلِيلَتَيْنِ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ زِدْتَ عَلَى اَلتَّثْوِيبِ حَيَّ عَلَى اَلْفَلاَحِ مَكَانَ اَلصَّلاَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اَلنَّوْمِ»
Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Abdullah ibn Najran from Hammad ibn Isa from Hariz from Zurarah who said:
(Imam) Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said to me: “O Zurarah, you begin the Adhan with four Takbirs and you end it with two Takbirs and two declarations of ‘La ilaha illallah ‘. And if you wish, you may add in place of ‘tathwib’, after ‘Hayya ‘ala al-falah’, the phrase ‘Al-salatu khayrun min al-nawm’.”
