Chapter on the Number of Phrases in the Adhan and Iqamah, and Their Description

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« يَا زُرَارَةُ تَفْتَتِحُ اَلْأَذَانَ بِأَرْبَعِ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَ تَخْتِمُهُ بِتَكْبِيرَتَيْنِ وَ تَهْلِيلَتَيْنِ»
Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub from Muhammad ibn Isma‘il from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Hammad ibn Isa from Zurarah: (Imam) Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “O Zurarah, you begin the Adhan with four Takbirs and you end it with two Takbirs and two declarations of ‘La ilaha illallah’.”
